    I've got a brand new T400 that I'm doing a clean XP install on. It came with Vista, and I don't think the wireless was working there either (I only played with it for a few minutes before I formatted it). Where I work has around 20 lenovo laptops, so I don't think I've done anything wrong but the wireless card isn't showing up in device manager once I install drivers. I also tried installing again following the install thread from the forum here.

    The laptop is a Lenovo T400 2767-13U.

    I don't have restore disks to get it back to Vista, and Lenovo support won't help me with XP till I buy a XP restore disk ($50). Should I tell them the wireless doesn't work in Vista and have them come change the card out, because I think the thing is broken... Or anyone have any other ideas?

    Edit: Fixed. The company we bought the laptop from swapped the Verison Wireless card out with an AT&T Erricson card. Well it seems they took the wrong card out, removing the intel wireless instead of the Verison card.
