    I reinstall XP, and now the thinkpad access connection for wireless in not working.
    The wireless card itslef is working, and I can add networks etc under XP utilities, but the thinkpad access utility always displays a "powerd off status". I cannot seem to get it to power on.
    I have to change settings by going to XP utilities.

    Any fix for this ?

    Never mind, I made the mistake of installing the wireless drivers through windows, apparently I had to do it by the setup file in the drivers dowload.
    Mine was in C:\Drivers\WIN\WLANCX2A.

    You know.. in my case, I find that the included wireless management of windows xp and vista is better and easier to use than the Thinkpad... to i have that by default.
