Why do I need Intel Proset if Windows Xp Sp2 controls it anyway? I have it uninstalled and it works fine.

ProSet has some additional features that are critical for some users (but not most home users).

For example, I think the Intel PRO/Wireless cards controlled by PRO/Set are one of the only non-Cisco wireless solutions that can communicate with access points secured by Cisco LEAP. (Common in corporate environments, essentially nonexistent in home networks.)

you can disable. might as well uninstall though

This is what I found in Windows Task Manager. Programs loaded in memory..


1XConfig.exe Intel Proset 8021XConfig Module

EvtEng.exe log wireless ? part of Intel proset
RegSrvc.exe part of Intel Proset do I need this?

NicConfigSvc.exe Internal Network Card Power Management Service


S24EvMon.exe again part of Intel Proset


scardsvr.exe Smart Card Win Xp service.. don't need it

wdfmgr.exe part of Windows Media Player v10!. We are using version 9
renmae to wdfmgr.old

WLKEEPER.EXE again part of Intel Proset

ZCfgSvc.exe part of Intel Proset?? yes it is.

dlg.exe used with modem don't need Digital Line Monitor?


All these programs were loaded into memory. Now they arn't. Get rid of these programs freed up a lot of system memory.


wireless is running fine. Now I'm upgrading the laptop with 1 gig memory kit (2 x 512meg).

Kevin210 - enough said - I'm about to uninstall it after reading your last post!

I have now removed the software and only installed the drivers for the network card. The wireless adaptor has been recognised and installed in device manager. Is this all I need to do?

Im looking for a wireless router now (the Netgear WPNT834 was useless with the 3945ABG adaptor). Do you have any recommendations as to which wireless router works with our adaptor best?

Thanks.

I've been using the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G 2.4 GHZ for umm a couple years? I think. No problem.

Very easy to install.

Hi,

I have windows 10 I also use the intel networking adapter I actually have to adapters the other one being qualcomm Atheros. On My custom built not a dell. I was wondering where I find the network monitoring software to uninstall it. All I have showing in my programs and features in my control panel in the netork adpter software. not the monitoring software. And I have a services entry to disable it. I have a wired connection I use my of my ethernet controllers onboard as wired. I have them bridged.

Thanks Steve
