Upgrading Thinkvantage Access software killed Wi-Fi

[richwig]

On my Thinkpad X40 I wanted to upgrade to Thinkvantage Access software because the tool was pretty dumb about selecting networks and reconnecting after the lid had been closed. I was hoping the new one was smarter about first trying the SSID it last associated with and then going after the strongest signal.

After the upgrade, I cannot turn on the wireless radio. I'm wondering what to do next.

Thanks,

the first thing I would do is uninstall it and then see if you can connect with the native wireless application
