1812 Wireless network NIC is not supported at SecureDoc preboot authentication (PBLx32 / PBLUx32 mode) on a HP ProBook 640 G5

Prev Next

Environment:
SecureDoc Client for Windows 8.3SR1 / 8.5
HP ProBook 640 G5
For details of SecureDoc Client supported environments, see KBA 1813.
Problem:
Users are unable to use wireless network authentication at preboot after successfully installing SecureDoc Client for Windows with PBLx32 (legacy BIOS) / PBLUx64 (UEFI BIOS) mode, encrypting the hard disk, and restarting. The driver for wireless network NIC is not available.
 Solution:
This issue is resolved by installing SecureDoc 8.3SR1 or later version with latest KnownConfig XML file.  The use of KnownConfig XML forces SecureDoc to use 64-bit preboot authentication screen (PBLx64 / PBLUx64 mode) which has the driver for the wireless network NIC.

IMPORTANT: The latest KnownConfig XML file is attached to KBA 1745. Always install the latest version.
