T41 atheros wireless (abg II) driver for vista

#1 Post by sktn77a » Fri Mar 20, 2009 10:06 pm

Playing around with Vista again on my T41. Can't find the correct driver for Vista (32bit) for the Thinkpad abg II wireless card.

Anyboy help???

Thanks

Will ABG II work on a T41 at all?

Here's the driver anyway:

Good luck.

Yes, George, it actually came with the T41 originally (2379-DKU). The card for the T43 was very slightly different but they appeared pretty much interchangeable on my old T40. Thanks for the link - I saw that driver in my searches but, because it didn't include the T41 or T42, was reluctant to use it. This prompted me to search the Vista files on my computer some more and, lo-and-behold, I found the correct driver. I just wish Microsoft wouldn't bury these drivers so deep in the OS directories!

One last question - I've never had to activate any Microsoft OS on an IBM/Lenovo recovery CD in the past but now it says "Must activate in 3 days". It shows an OEM product key already installed though (?) Any insights, anyone?
