    The wireless card of my t61 is: Wireless Type: Intel PRO/Wireless WiFi 4965AGN.

    I go to the thinkpad drivers download page: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67853#Wireless

    and under intel pro wireless, the driver says "not availible"...only the ThinkPad 802.11bg and 802.11abg wireless LAN Mini PCI adapter is availible for download...is there any other way i can properly install my wireless? Or another site? or can i just use the thinkpad 802.11 driver?

    Thanks.

    All the drivers for your machine should be located in the IBMTools folder.

    If you wiped the drive without creating the recovery discs, it's gone now. They were still calling it the IBMTools folder on my R60, but perhaps they've changed in now that Lenovo is more in the forefront.
