You are exactly right KwikOne by pointing out that there are actually two different downloads for this. It seems there are a lot of different wireless cards for this laptop model. Your link provides drivers for these models:
This package provides the Wireless LAN driver for Microsoft Windows XP for the following adapters: - Intel WiFi Link 5100 and 5300 - Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG and 4965AGN - Intel PRO/Wireless 3945bg Mini PCI and 3945abg Mini PCI - Intel PRO/Wireless 2200bg Mini PCI - Intel PRO/Wireless 2915abg Mini PCI My link provides drivers for these models: This package provides the Wireless LAN driver and Utility Software for the following Wireless LAN adapters. - IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II - IBM 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI adapter - ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter - ThinkPad 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter (II) I think at this point Raghav is going to have to figure out what type of wireless card is in the laptop and download the appropriate drivers. Good catch!
