Thinkpad Wireless Problems

by dumphrey . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

I have an old IBM Thinkpad R51 I am reinstalling XP Pro on for one of our sales people. Everything installs fine except the wireless (ibm 11 abg, made by phillips, Atheros chip set). The card is detected as a standard ethernet device in device manger, but its !’ed since its non-operational. The drivers from IBM do not install correctly, or I am doing something wrong. If I put in a knoppix disk and run the wifi config, it detects and configs the card right away, so I am relatively sure the card works (no wifi near by to test atm.)Any tips or tricks to get this wireles up and running would be great.
