I reinstalled Windows but cannot access the wireless card
I just got an IBM T41 and had to reformat the HD. I installed Win XP Pro which loads fine. I am told this model has “built in” wireless, but I cannot figure out how to access it. Do I have to reinstall something? Please help!! TIA
You have do download and install the wireless card driver. Visit the IBM (Lenovo) website, find downloads for your laptop model and operating system and install the Wi-Fi card driver.

That is good advice, but what if you do not have access from your laptop to the internet?

My wireless on my laptop quit working. It is a Toshiba M45 Satellite. The Wirless on my Fiance’s still works just fine. When I go to the Connections page and bring up all networks it sees it just fine with full signal. It reads that it is Aquiring Address and that is as far as it goes. The thing has been running slow and had some problems so I just reformatted the HD and reinstalled windows and it didn’t fix the problem. I have checked to see that the wireless card is seated good. I have check it by connecting via Ethernet to the modem and that works fine. Our other laptop works just fine. I have Ubuntu loaded on there as a boot from disk and didn’t know if that might have had anything to do with it. I haven’t check to see if it will work with Ubuntu yet, but plan to tonight. Any suggestions?

So yesterday I was cleaning some old unused programs off my computer and I accidentally removed the utility and driver for my network card, a Broadcomm BCM4311. Now I am unable to reinstall the driver, and XP says there is no wireless card. Could I have actually damaged the card, or am I just doing something wrong on the installation process.
