Thinkpad T-40 refurb question

#1 Post by eschil » Fri Mar 19, 2010 2:13 pm

We bought a refurbed T-40 and the wireless adapter needs to be updated so it can read my DSL Router. It's an AirHawk adapter. My question is....is it the AirHawk that needs updating or is it something else in this computer that needs updating? I can not find an update for this driver by searching the web? Just throwing this out there and would appreciate any assistance or education on this subject. Thanks, Ed.

Hi Ed,

Welcome to the forum!

What is the model number for your router? And which wireless adapter does your T40 have? Or the FRU number for the wireless adapter. Or just give us the seven character type number for your T40. If we know what were dealing with on both ends, maybe we can suggest where the problem is.

Also please explain a little more what you mean by "read" the router.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

Hi Niel, thanks for your reply. We ended up getting a new wireless card from the company we bought the computer from and are up and running. :)
