FYI, I found an alternate driver and app that works with the Sony a/b/g PCMCIA card included with the US X505’s.  The Sony app basically suppliments Windows WiFi control panel.  The link below will allow you to d/l an Atheros app (chipset inside the Sony card) that provides more control of the card and includes Cisco LEAP extensions for those that interface that type of network.  When I ran the install program I chose to only install the app and not the drivers.  I went to msconfig (from the run command) and unchecked the Sony WiFi app from the list of start up items.  After a reboot everything worked great.  Signal strength seems to have improved (the Atheros app allows various levels of power use) and I have more control of the PC card.  Have fun..  :D

NIIIICCEE.. :thumbs up:

before ur givin thumbs up, i would like to know if it works with my

wifi card model pcwa-c300s/b

i guess its wlan b/g only

does the above posted software improve the wlan connection performance that much would be the most interesting question :idea:

I just tested. It works very well with my card. It may have improved the signal a little bit, but I am not very sure, since the signal is already very strong in my lab. I will check it at my home, there are some APs with very weak signal. I will try to see if it really improves.

By the way, can we use this driver to replace the original sony driver? Anyone tried that?

@coolfire74: wuts ur wlan card modell?

It is PCWA-C800S (2.4GHz/5GHz, 802.11a/b/g). Hope it helps.

ok, i got the 300s

By the way, what exactly is the chipset used in C800S, any idea?

Thanks!

version 4 seems to be the newest

This is driver and client utility for Atheros WLAN card only. If your TR3 use Atheros chipset, you can use it, but I think TR3 is Centrino powered so WLAN is Intel 2100 or 2200 and this Utility is not for TR3.
