Thinkpad T42p Atheros drivers needed

[dplantz]

Just upgraded to Windows 7 and it does not even see my wireless card now. I specifically need the atheros wireless drivers that work for Windows 7 I tried using the ones on the lenovo site for Vista, but no go. Still does not recognize I even have a wirelss card installed. Any help would be appreciated

I'm using this driver w/ Windows 7:

Vendor: Atheros Communications Inc.
Driver Date: 2009, Jun 9
Driver Version: 2.0.0.75
WHQL: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility


Works perfectly with the Hotkey features as well as with ThinkVantage Access Connections.

actually I found the drivers online here:

But not sure how to install them as it has no .exe file to install. Any pointers here?

I don't see what you are referring to. They all download as .exe files.

yes, I see that now, they are self extracting files. I simply dropped them in the c:\Drivers folder, rebooted and now I see my wireless network just fine!

thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
