I try to connect to the network on windows 10, but it always says "could not connect to network".
The intel website says that the pro 3945abg is not supported for windows 10.
How do I get this working?
EDIT:
Things I have tried so far:
I downloaded the following driver:
Intel® PROSet/Wireless Basic Enterprise for IT Administrators: Windows
7 64-Bit*File name: Wireless_14.3.1_Ds64.zip
Version: 14.3.1 (Previously released)
Date: 03/12/2012
Size: 7.61 MB Language: English Operating Systems: Windows 7, 64-bit*

This doesn't entirely fix the problem. Restarting the computer causes
the problem to reoccur. running iprodifx.exe provided in the file will
bring the connection back, but I dont know what is causing it to loose
the settings.
Also:
uninstall the driver for the wifi card, so that it is forced to use the generic driver
After trying #2, it appears to work for a bit, but soon reverted to being unable to connect after restarting or resuming.
Best Answer
Try installing this older driver (from this question, not sure if the issues are related, but it's worth a try).
Or try installing this newer driver, suggested in this much more relevant thread.
Also, go into Device Manager after installing the driver of your choice, go to the Power Management tab on your device, and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device". That seems to be a universal recommendation for troubleshooting Intel WiFi cards.
