    I have been having the well know 2200BG connectivity problems
    with my new N3510. I have a Netgear WGT624 router.

    Just curious if anybody has tried the IBM granted version 9.0.1.21
    in any recent model Fujitsu with the 2200BG? Any luck fixing the
    problem if you were having it? Seems like this is definitely
    an Intel issue, not the router or Fujitsu.

    2200BG v9.0.1.21 (standard from Fujitsu is 9.0.1.9)

    I have an E8020 with the Intel 2200BG wireless card.

    Like most others, I had major problems with the drivers
    that came with the laptop when connecting to a Netgear DG834G.

    I decided to try the v9.0.1.4 drivers mentioned in the
    Networking and Wireless thread.

    These work much better for me although the speed can still
    fluctuate but rarely drops below 11 Mbps. The current stats
    have about 90% of transmit and receive packets at 48Mbps and
    above.

    Could try downloading the one from Intel's website.






    I was robbed by a sweet little old lady on a motorized cart and I didn't even see it coming.

    I did install the Intel version 9.0.1.4 from Intel with the
    PROset application that it comes with. All is perfect now
    and I did not change any settings. I am using the Intel
    utility to manage the connection instead of windows, but
    doubt that had anything to do with it.

    Coul also have been some interference from something, but
    sounds like the original driver had issues. My netgear
    wireless router knocked out my XM Radio reception nearby,
    had to move it somewhere else - took me a while to
    figure that out.

    The IBM driver for the wireless card for my T42 for Win 2k would not work unitl I downloaded the Intel driver.
