    I have an old R31 Thinkpad that i have just installed a new hard drive in. I have re-imaged this computer many times and have had no trouble finding and installing the necessary drivers for the hardware in the machine.... except for this time. I go to the IBM website and after many clicks and getting redirected many times, I come to a page where I can click on a piece of hardware and it brings me to the drivers. There is not one for my wireless adapter anymore and none of the other drivers i need seem to work. Can somebody please help me with this. I am about to send my computer to the graveyard if I cant find a solution sometime soon.

    Thanks in advance

    I believe it is the intel PRO 2100. This card was in a Thinkpad R51 that a friend had, which i used in a google search to find the driver in a previous re-install and that worked. I have tried to do searches and come up with nothing or come up with something that doesnt work. I do not think that the card is bad because it worked right up to the point where I swapped out my hard drive.

    If you have an Intel Card, you can always shag the one off Intel's site if you can't find the ThinkPad version of it.
