Intel Wifi Software For Windows 7

Jul 03, 2018 Please refer to the following table to find the features available for this software on Windows 10*: - Feature Comparison for Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software Enterprise As for 802.1x authentication, we would like to gather more details: - Intel® System Support Utility report. The Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection is an embedded 802.11a/b/g PCIe Mini Card network adapter operating in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum. The new solution has support for the latest wireless industry standards, and offers a host of features that will enhance today's mobile lifestyle.

Once your board is online, seamlessly integrate Internet connectivity into your IoT application.

You will also need the IP address of your Intel® board to program it wirelessly using the Intel® XDK and Intel® System Studio IoT Edition IDEs. The configure_edison --showWiFiIP command will be shown at the end of this section.

Download new and previously released drivers including support software, bios, utilities, firmware and patches for Intel products. The Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection is an embedded 802.11a/b/g PCIe Mini Card network adapter operating in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum. Updates, patches, or fixes in a new software release may only apply to Intel® PROSet software or to certain Intel® Wireless Adapters. When you update the Intel® PROSet software package, it might not update the wireless adapter driver if it includes the same driver as the previous release. Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software installs diagnostics tools which can view statistics of connections, diagnose any wireless issues and view wireless events. Administrator tools that Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software provides are the ability to import wireless profiles and administer the computers connected to the network.

Note: The animation shown here was captured on a Mac* computer but the shell commands remain the same.

If you are not already logged into your board's shell, use the screen utility in Terminal to establish a serial connection.

To start the Wi-Fi setup process, run the configure_edison command with the --wifi flag. Follow the on-screen prompts.
configure_edison --wifi
Did you get a “configure_edison: not found” message?
The firmware running on your Intel® Edison board is very old. You need to update it before continuing. Run the setup tool to update the firmware, and then follow the rest of the steps in this Getting Started guide.
Your board will scan for Wi-Fi networks for approximately 10 seconds. When it is finished, a list of available networks will be displayed.
Locate the network you would like to connect to in the list and make note of the corresponding number to the left of the network name. Typically you should connect to the same network that your development computer is on.

In this example, the Sugoi network corresponds to the number 9.
In the prompt, type the corresponding number of the network you would like to connect to, and then press Enter.

In this example, to connect to the Sugoi network highlighted in the previous step, type 9.
If your network requires a password or other information, enter the appropriate network credentials when prompted.

In this example, the network requires a password.
The board will attempt to make a connection to the network. When you see a Done message, your board has successfully connected.
Note the Wi-Fi IP address in the 'Done' message. This is your board’s IP address.

In this example, the IP address is 10.0.1.11.
Tip: To get the current Wi-Fi* IP address of your board without going through the setup process again, run the following command:
configure_edison --showWiFiIP
The IP address for the Wi-Fi* interface will be shown on the shell.
