hi!

I own T60p 2007-YLX (with V5250 not X1300 like it says on the website).
After windows installation I installed all the drivers, but one is still "missing".
I have an "other devices"->"Uknown device"
what could that be? :/
Bluetooth, IR and WAN are disabled in BIOS....

I'll bet it's the security chip -- I had the same mystery a few days ago reinstalling Windows on a colleague's T60. Try installing the Thinkpad Client Security Solution.

Don't install it, disable it in the bios.
