T60P wireless - drop outs, BSOD, Vista SP1, driver
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 7:24 am
I have Vista SP1 running on my T60P 2613 CTO.
My wireless connection has become a serious problem as it drops off every 2-5 minutes, and recently started causing BSOD (blue screen of deaths) saying athr.sys caused the problem.
I am thinking that perhaps Windows Update updated my wireless drivers automatically and mistakenly.
When I go to Device Manager it says I have an
"11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter"
but I don't trust Device Manager because it is just showing what the current (Atherton) driver is telling it.
I called Lenovo phone support but they basically had no idea what I was talking about and wanted to send me recovery discs.
Can someone here tell me in factual reality which wireless card I *actually* have in this T60P 2613 CTO? Then, where do I get the *correct* Vista driver for this wireless card?
Thank you.
