I think IBM has its own software utility for configuring wireless network connections. Have you installed such a utility, already?<br />
<br />
Do you see your wireless nic icon under LAN or High speed internet connections in Contol Panel &gt;&gt;&nbsp;Network Connections? Doesn't matter if you see it disconnected! it should be there at least. If it is there, then you have your drivers installed properly.<br />
<br />
If you are able to find it. Select the Wireless Connection, right click, select Enable.<br />
<br />

Do you see your wireless nic icon under LAN or High speed internet connections in Contol Panel >> Network Connections? Doesn't matter if you see it disconnected! it should be there at least. If it is there, then you have your drivers installed properly.

If you are able to find it. Select the Wireless Connection, right click, select Enable.

The AccessIBM button still doesn't work, but I'm now able to use my wireless radio (after I enabled it in BIOS).<br />
<br />
Thanks!

I just re-installed a standard version of XP (plus SP2) on my Thinkpad T43 (type 2668). I then installed dot-net 3.0, and ThinkVantage v5.33.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to configure my wireless network, but the radio light does not come on.<br />
<br />
When I press the AccessIBM button, nothing happens. (Also, Fn-F5 only turns Bluetooth on/off; not the wireless radio.)<br />
<br />
(I also installed the Wireless LAN driver for the Thinkpad.)<br />
<br />
It seems like I just need to turn on the wireless radio, but I can't get at the IBM software to let me do it. Any help?

Thinkpad T43 - AccessIBM button doesn't work

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
