Wireless Network Controller Driver For Thinkpad T430s

24-05-2021 by

Carbon-fiber reinforcement makes it possible to preserve the ThinkPad T430s' legendary durability and performance while keeping its weight down. The T430s weighs in at under 4 lbs and sports advanced wireless technology, making it perfect for frequent business travelers.

Hi John,
As I see you are able to connect home wifi and other wireless connections which means your device is working fine. Some hot sorts will have restrictions. I would suggest you to see the following link on some of the reasons for Wireless connections.

Why are you blaming the machine? It works perfectly almost everywhere. The problem is with some hotspots. Ask locally where the hotspot limits are and stay well inside of them..
Windows 10 Pro - Start10 - part of a local network which is a '3rd party optimizer-free' zone..

The problem is consistent with specific wireless hotspots. As stated, it is rock solid for some, problematic for others.
I dropped the unit off at a Lenovo Authorized Repair facility and expect it back by the end of next week. I will know if a replacement card and different drivers from Intel do the trick.

Tks for the link.
I can see the wireless hot spots. My issue include SSID's that are visible and invisible. So the issue is not about the ability to see them.
I go the route of:
- Set to auto-connect and power-off/boot laptop.
- ipconfig /flusdns

- ipconfig /all (to view IP stack assigned by DHCP)

Some of the admin's will reboot the Wireless End-Point or Wireless unit all together. That will fix it for a short period of time (1/2 hour up to 2 hours), then it acts up again.
As stated, I will also bring my older Win7 Pro laptop and have no problems at all. My Wireless card is too leading edge for the potentially older technology that allegedly supports N ??

Hi John,
Which antivirus program is installed on the computer?

It now works. Effort to resolve:

- Removed all downloaded drivers and bios updates.

- Uninstalled the wireless driver.

- Used the Lenovo Update tool. Updated the wireless driver from the Lenovo site.


Now it works.


Rule of thumb: If you have a brand of computer/laptop, use that brand solution to perform driver and bios updates. Do not bypass them and go directly to the manufacture of that specific wireless card. Lenovo, for example, customize everything, so their drivers are tweaked a bit.


Lesson learned from an experienced IT specialist....

The idea here is to use a dual band Atheros AR5BHB92 AR9280 wireless card, and make it bypass thinkpads whitelist (warning: tested only on my T430)

Good News!

There is an Atheros that passes on Thinkpad t430 whitelist! I think that it works too on x230, w530 ...

Lenovo T430 Wireless Adapter Driver

168C:002B:17AA:30A1

How To?

We're gonna modify the EEPROM of our AR5BHB92 to become this card with the ID's above!

I've bought from this link, i recomend to buy exactly the same one:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/AR5BHB92-AR9280-Dual-Band-2-4G-5GHz-802-11a-b-g-n-300Mbps-WiFi-Wireless-Network/32792736484.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.262.jRvcby

Link not working anymore?

Please, try searching for this term on Ali Express, look for the one that has the waelab brand on it:

AR5BHB92 AR9280 Dual-Band waelab

You need the Ubuntu OS to make this!

You gonna need a Laptop with no wifi restriction, Ubuntu OS (any version), and of course, with the Atheros wireless card pluged in.

I prepared this easy way only for AR5BHB92 of the Ali Express link, okay?

Considering the files on this repository, the iwleeprom is compiled, patched and ready to use!

Inside the iwleeprom folder, using iwleeprom tool:

sudo ./iwleeprom -i ../AR5BHB92-eprom/patched.eeprom

Wireless Network Controller Driver For Thinkpad T430s

You're gonna see some messages of the write process. Some [.....X...] where X are the mods... and some success write message on the final.

That's all folks!

Your card is patched and ready! Put it back in the Thinkpad, and boot it. You don need the FAKE-PCIID...kext, you need only the toleda kext for atheros. Visit my t430 hackintosh repository:

https://github.com/ThiagoSchetini/macosx-thinkpad-t430

Network Controller Driver Linksys

Note that your card still works on another OS like Linux and probably on Windows, because, it's an Atheros yet!

First we need to identify the wireless card

Then, in terminal:

lspci

This will give us the pci slot used by the cards, for me: 03:00.0

Then we take a look at:

ls /sys/bus/pci/devices/

And we look for the same pci slot, for me: 03:00.0

And then we use:

udevadm info /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0

Result:

This command give us enough informations about the card. We are interested in the PCI_ID and PCI_SUBSYS_ID. We'll modify both of them.

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-source/v2/code.google.com/iwleeprom/source-archive.zip

unzip source-archive.zip

cd iwleeprom/branches/atheros

Then we need to modify three pieces of code inside ath9kio.c, around line 795:

change into:

save, and compile:

make

Now make sure this is the AR9285 card that we are actually using.

We'll dump the AR9285 EEPROM into a file:

sudo ./iwleeprom -o ./AR9285-original.eeprom

Result:

The file is owned by the root user, but you can change it back to a normal user owner

sudo chown username ./AR9285-original.eeprom

We keep the original intact, and we'll work on a copy:

Lenovo T430 Network Adapter Driver

cp AR9285-original.eeprom AR9285-patched.eeprom

Now it's time to open the eeprom dump file with ghex, find and replace vendor/device/subsystem IDs:

ghex AR9285-patched.eeprom

Now something IMPORTANT, the eeprom dump file is byte-flipped, which means, if we want to look for '168C', we will look for '8C16'.

WARNING: sometimes there are 2 OCCURENCES of each to find and replace by.

And now we write back the modified eeprom dump file into the wireless card, using iwleeprom tool:

sudo ./iwleeprom -i AR9285-patched.eeprom

Now our AR9285 card is patched and ready. We put it back in the Thinkpad T430, and boot it. You should not see any warning from the BIOS.

That's all!

Your card is patched and ready! Put it back in the Thinkpad, and boot it. You don need the FAKE-PCIID...kext, you need only the toleda kext for atheros. Visit my t430 hackintosh repository:
