IBM Lenovo X60t Tablet Pc wireless card driver doesn't work after x64 Vista

[davIbus]

Got a new tablet pc. Put in a new hard drive and installed vista ultimate x64. Works great. I was suprised how much smoother it runs.

The 11a/b/g/n wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter isn't recognized by vista. My friend said it might be a problem because it doesn't work with 64 bit software. Went through the long process of installing vista 32 bit version. Same thing. It was recognized by vista.


So now here I am with 64 bit vista installed again. I downloaded a couple drivers that it could be from lenovo website. It still didn't work.

Before I started this whole project I went to the microsoft upgrade site to check compatability. While running XP, the site said that I would have to download the wireless lan driver and install it after i installed vista. It also said the fingerprint reader would need to be manually installed but I don't care about that.

Any suggestions?

Pooooch! You're the man!

I downloaded that driver before... (i feel pretty stupid) but when I opened the file I thought it was installing. It was extracting the files. So i went to the extracted files location and installed the driver. Worked like a charm.

Thanks again.
