On T42 2373-8ZU the hard drive failed. Have replaced HD installed XP-Pro SP2 from Windows CD same as on original CD).
Everything else working OK, but no Wireless.
On Device Manager screen No wireless adapter appears
On Other Devices, there is Unknown Device with Question Mark
On Drivers Table there is no Intel 802.11b/g MPCIlisted,
only ThinkPad 802.11bg wireless LAN Mini PCI adapter, which I have downloaded and installed following instructions.
No result - I do not have orifinal Restore CDs
Any suggestions? (I have read all the other recent threads on similar topic, but none specificall address this issue)

Re: T42 Wireless Problem after XP reinstall
If you have the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200bg card then you need this driver -

Re: T42 Wireless Problem after XP reinstall
THank you, thank you, HarryC and Sjthinkpader both for your prompt response.
Have downloaded and everything working AA-OK.
Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding of the original IBM specs which stated
"Intel 802.11b/g wireless(MPCI)", therefore I didn't think that Intel 2200 was correct driver
