    I recently bought a lenovo 3000 Y410 notebook with Vista home premium installed . I downgraded my OS to XP as vista performance was sluggish.

    I somehow installed all drivers and application but i couldnt install the Wireless LAN driver cos i dont know whom manufactured it. I tried to install intel,Broadcom,Atheros WLAN driver but none of them is working.

    Help me in this regard

    The wifi card is Intel 3945ABG. Drivers are on the intel website. Give your laptop to someone who knows what they are doing. You're still probably missing drivers. Look in device manager.

    I google "lenovo y410" for xp drivers and found this post. So, for those of you who want to switch back to xp, here is the drivers download page.
