Access Connections "crashes" wireless connection

Well, here we go again. Tried to upgrade to Access Connections 5.02 and once the T60 rebooted, I tried to use one of my wireless profiles and the wirless option was grayed out. Tried to use fn+F5 and there was no "on-off" button for the wireless, just the bluetooth.

This happened last year with another "upgrade" of AC and the power manager, wireless driver and AC had to be uninstalled and re-installed in a certain order.

But there's a different twist this time: the wireless pci card doesn't even show up in device manager/system. It's gone completely.

The BIOS has all switches enable in regard to the internal wirless network card so now I'm completely at a loss what to do.

Support tech tried but no luck either.

Sounds like the card took a dump...

Any help?

Thanks!

Mike

Install AC 4.52 from the Lenovo website. This fixed mysimilar problems in Vista Home Premium with SP1. There are many threads to AC5.02 problems here and on the lenovo forum - all have about the same problem that cannot be fixed by the forum members. Lenovo needs to repair their drivers.

Come on Lenovo...fix AC and the Power Manager software.
