Answer» Hi!
A friend bought a TOSHIBA notebook recently that does not have a wireless driver installed. She told me that the model is Toshiba Satellite Pro, the os is Winxp, and the processor type is Centrino Duo. It also has a fingerprint sensor. I'm trying to see which wifi driver i should download for it at the Toshiba support WEBSITE. Is it ok if I install 'Intel Wireless LAN Driverfor Windows XP (v11.1.0.100.XP; 06-26-2007; ?.93M)' for the Satellite Pro A200-EZ2204X ?
We don't know the full model name of the notebook, so we're thinking that as long as the driver is for a Toshiba Satellite Pro, it will work. Is this possible?You will really need to find the specific model number. There is a lot of Satellite Pros and I can guarantee you they don't use the same wireless NIC. The model number is usually printed on the bottom of the laptop.
If you can't find the model number then you can try Everest or Belarc. They might be ABLE to identify what wirelss NIC is installed in the computer.
Thanx deerpark,
That really helped! Under the notebook, i found that the model was Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 You can find your driver here.
You'll need to use Balarc or Everest to determine which of the wireless drivers you need, Intel or Atheros, as there are THREE drivers for Wi-Fi listed on the page.
NOTE: I hope you're using Vista, because for the U200, there are only Vista drivers available from Toshiba.Thank again quaxo!
I FOLLOWED the link & found a wifi driver for winxp in the next pages. I think I'll download an intel driver bse the processor in the notebook is Intel Centrino Duo. It doesn't matter what the processor is. The wireless hardware could be made by anyone. Of course, if you try to install the Intel driver and it isn't an Intel wireless ADAPTOR, it might just tell you the hardware isn't there. Then you could try the Atheros driver.
