I've got a non-OE wireless card in my T30 and I was able to find the driver for it somewhere, but I can't recall where. I think the card I bought was a DELL OE card.

I'm about to re-format the machine and can still access my failed HD via bartPE. How can I locate the file(s) I need? Is it just a single file or an installation package?

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you take the card out, you can find the manufacturer using the FCC number.
If it's a Dell, get the drivers from there.
It's a number of files, not just one, and they are spread over Windows, Inf and System32 and probably somewhere else as well.
Keep that failed disk for later, just in case.

I re-formatted the HD yesterday and the wireless card was functional without me taking any action The only thing I could see that wasn't right was a problem with the "FIND" wireless network option. It found the neighbors' networks and my own, but signal strength showed 0% on all.

I finally remembered where I got the drivers from the last time. They came directly from CISCO's site. The package was about 15MB in size. I followed the download/installation routine and everything appears to be working.
