    My R40 will not connect automatically to my wireless network. I have to manually tell Thinkvantage Access Connections to connect to the network and then everything works fine, but it's annoying to have to do that every time. I tried uninstalling Access Connections to see if I can use Wireless Zero Config to make it autoconnect. After uninstalling Access Connections, Wireless Zero says no networks are found (which is what it does with Access Connections installed).

    The only thing I've found that can make it automatically connect is to roll back the WLAN driver for the Intel 802.11B card, but doing this causes "bad pool header" errors. What can I do to fix this issue?
