I just got my T60p back from the service center. The mother board was changed.

Now, I am trying to connect to the internet, but it looks like Windows cannot detect any wireless adapter. Under device manager, only the ethernet adapter is listed, no wireless adapter listed. I know before I sent in the T60p, wireless worked fine. I even tried to install the atheros a/b/g/n wireless driver from the Lenovo support site, nothing. The wireless button is turned on, only bluetooth seems to be turned on.

And this is on top of Windows cannot detect my ATI graphics card.

Can anyone help?

If you hit FN-F5 on the keyboard, is the wireless radio listed? If it is, enable it. If not, I'd get a copy of the maintenance manual and check out the presence of the Wireless card. Reseat it also.

I downloaded but did not correctly install the driver for the wireless card. I forgot to run the setup file...

Did you get the ATI display adapter working also?

Yes, I ran the setup for the ATI driver. It worked.

But this is weird, how come Windows did not detect these hardware in the first place?

That is odd. Vista detected all the drivers on my R60 except the power management, which other than the GPU is probably very similar to your T60, but with WEI, you have to rate it before it gives you any kind of score or before you can use Aero.
