Thinkpad T40 Wireless card

So I bought a Panasonic Intel Pro/wireless 2915abg card from ebay and had trouble installing drivers. I installed the driver from the site, which did not work, so i uninstalled it and and installed the driver from the intel site, which also didn't work. At first I was able to access my internet when WEP was off but once it was on it would hang for a while and repeat over and over. Some help would be lovely, Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

Are you getting any boot errors with that new card?

I was but I did no-1802 to make it start up.

Try using the driver from Lenovo's site

That is the driver i have installed. I actually have pictures. When the WEP is on the windows manager says it is no longer in range. When WEP is off the manager just says not connected.

Have you tried using Access Connections? Some "foreign" cards will work there after the hack, and some won't...

Personally, I'd just throw away that Panasonic card and install a proper one with a FRU, but that's me...

Yeah i had already planned for that so this was my last option before doing so. The good thing is that I got a refund for it and didn't even have to send it back! Well thanks for your time.
