Good mornin guys,

I have a big problem.
I'm running Vista Business on my T60 2007-FRG and I cannot find any WLAN spots. The wlan device works fine (windows says so). With netstumbler it won't find any active AP's, too, but sure there are spots in my are.

What can I do now?

Please elaborate more on how Windows determined that the WLAN device works fine.

try rebooting your AP..
try turning off and then back on the radio in the T60...

Netstumbler does not appear to work correctly in Vista. It loads ok but shows no access points. Otherwise my wireless works ok.

Actually, after further tests with Netstumbler, it appears that it works fine with my external wireless pc card (dlink g650) showing many access points but shows no access points for my internal Intel wireless card. Both cards connect ok to nearby access points though the dlink card (atheros) is far superior. No surprises there.
