    Hey guys,

    When I click Fn+F5 to access the radio page and click on the power on button for the wireless radio, it won't power on, nothing happens. This situation happened after I installed thinkpad wireless Lan (11bgn,bg) for windows 7, version 1.00.10017.1.

    I need some help please,

    thanks.

    what is the model/type number of your T410s? I think you may installed the wrong driver, you probably have an Intel wireless card and not a Thinkpad wireless card.

    This is what it says on device manager: 11b/g/n wireless lan mini-pci express adapter II

    On the shipping tracking website it says: THINKPAD B/G/N

    is the physical switch for wireless on the ultrabay side of your thinkpad turned off by chance?
