    Sony Z series is a wonderful laptop which works well with the installed Intel My WiFi technology. Beware of updating the Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6230 Network adaptors. When I updated from version 14.1.1.3 to version 14.2.0.10 all hell broke loose. Fortunately, this is repaired by going back with system restore to before the installation.

    Has anyone else found that this update is problematic?

    Is your laptop Sony Z? Did you have ever use the intermediate version of that driver - 14.2.1.10 ? From where can one download the 14.3 version?
