DLink GWL-G630 Entry Point Problem - wlanapi.dll
in [Wireless]
|
From: Duckysan1 on 6 May 2008 05:21 Since upgrading my Acer laptop (Travelmate 2300) to XP SP3, I cannot use the Dlink utility. I receive the following error: 'The procedure entry point apsGetInterfaceCount could not be located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll' I have removed and re-installed the drivers/software, but no improvement. Web search suggests compatibility problem with Dlink driver/dll. Whilst I still have wireless connectivity, the Dlink utilities do not work. It seems this is an SP3 issue - other users report the issue is resolved if they revert back to SP2. There must be a better resolution!
From: Barb Bowman on 6 May 2008 07:29 either use Windows native WZC features to manage the wireless (uninstall the utility and keep the wireless) or contact D-Link support/search their downloads for a fixed version.

From: Duckysan1 on 6 May 2008 10:08 Thanks for the comments. It seems XPSP3 adds a new version of wlanapi.dll that conflicts and replaces the Dlink DLL. I have written to Dlink, but am not holding my breath. The following appears on the 'Tech ARP' site: "Windows XP SP3 introduces a new .dll file that is named Wlanapi.dll. Certain device driver installations for some third-party wireless network adapters also install a Wlanapi.dll which will be replaced by SP3 resulting in errors. This error message will appear during every restart after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3 : "The procedure entry point apsSearchInterface could not be located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll" Impact : Low – Obtaining updated drivers for the WLAN device resolves this issue KB Content : KB 950720" I'll check it out.

From: Pavel A. on 6 May 2008 17:50 Wlanapi.dll is part of the new wireless API introduced quite long ago in KB918997, and now integrated into SP3. The Dlink package could include some other version of this dll, because the Microsoft's wlanapi.dll does not have export function named "apsSearchInterface". IMHO Dlink should work with MS to resolve this issue.

From: Barb Bowman on 7 May 2008 04:40 It isn't just D-Link, that utility is supplied by the wireless chipset manufacturer and customized by multiple folks using that chipset. When they get bits from the source...
