T400s wlan driver for Win7

#1 Post by awallin » Sat Dec 12, 2009 4:04 am

Hi all,
just got a T400s and did a clean re-install of Win7 enterprise.

WiFi/WLAN works fine, but Windows 7 still shows an icon in the taskbar which says I should look for an updated driver.

Device manager also seems fine, showing a device "Intel WiFi Link 5300" which is working properly.

This page only has drivers for "Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5350"

any thoughts?

thanks,
Anders

You could always try installing the 5350 driver anyway; if it doesn't match, the driver installer will error and not install. Worst case scenario, just revert to the restore point you made before trying the Lenovo driver.

You do make restore points before installing drivers, right? :P
