Hi everyone,
I just received a new old T42P and have removed all the good bits from my old T41 and installed them. I have put Vista on it (since I have a spare copy around) and it's recognised my wireless card and it is working fine. However, the wireless LED does not work. I have a Thinkpad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter II card. I could swap the original Intel b/g card back but I have found the Thinkpad card to be better.
Does anyone know of any new Vista drivers that can switch on the wireless LED? Lenovo's web site does not have any dated past 2004.
Thanks,

Re: Wireless driver that enables wireless LED
Thanks very much! I'll try it out and see how it goes but I expect that it will work fine. I don't suppose there is a version of Presentation Director that works on a T42P and Vista too? I've managed to get EasyEject, the Fn+F5 functionality and all the other onscreen displays working.
I also need to get the Access IBM online help working too, bu that'll be another story...
