What wireless card do you have in the T41? If you don't know, post the (7) digit machine type/model from the bottom of the laptop. .e.g. 2647-3CU

the easiest way is to run windows update, it should find it automatically. Failing that, use the windows xp driver.

Good luck.

That machine shipped with Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 3b Mini PCI adapter in it. Is that original card still there? If yes, starting with Vista, that driver is available through windows update from Microsoft.

That extracts the driver to c:\drivers\win\wifi (or \win2k\wifi), open device manager and tell it to search there. The intel driver is probably more recent, so It may be better to just use that.

Good luck
