WLAN not visible in the Wireless Radio dialog (Fn + F5)

Hi,

I installed Windows XP Pro from scratch on my new T60p. Everything works flawlessly except for one thing:

The "Power Settings of Wireless Radios" dialog (Fn + F5) only shows Bluetooth -- the wireless lan is not available.

I installed the Intel PROSet software from the Lenovo website and the path to the driver (C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin\) is in the environment variable Path. Furthermore I uninstalled both the PROSet software and the Hotkey utility. The wireless lan is working properly.

Any suggestions why the WLAN does not show up in the dialog?

I installed windows from scratch and have the same problem...

No WLAN and get the messege "unable to change power state of 802.11 wireless radio. update the driver for the wireless adapter."

I fought with this for a week... and IBM support was next to useless to help. The solution came from another thread on this board that described a simple solution...

Find the file LIBEAY32.DLL in the Windows System32 folder and rename it to something that can't be used (libeay32.dll.old).

It's that simple! This DLL is installed by some other applications and conflicts with the TP wirreless tools.

renaming the LIBEAY32.DLL in system32 is a bad idea... there are many applications that use this.

Shoot. I'm having the exact same problem. Has any other solution been posted? I've uninstalled and reinstalled as per other topics but no joy.

Thanks -- Barbara

True, there are other applications; but you will notice when they can't use it and, in almost all of the cases, it can be resolved by moving a correctly named copy of the DLL to the programs working directory and leaving the one under the WINDOWS directory with a name change.

Wow - it's like magic! How do people *KNOW* these things???

Many thanks -- Barbara
