My daughter has a T400 that has just had a second Intel wireless card fail in the last 6 months. The firswt one was replaced under warranty, and once installed the wireless connection worked again. Now it appears that the same thing has happened again. The system, running Win 7, does not recognize that any wireless hardware is installed. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps suggested by Lenovo support (re-seating the card, manually installing drivers, toggling the external switch, etc.)

Are there known problems with either the T400 motherboard or the Intel wireless card that would lead to a repeat occurrence? We have not had and similar problems with 2 other T400s in the house, but having the same failure 2 different times makes me suspicious. And this machine will be going off to college in a month or so, which will make any ongoing support more difficult.

Any ideas?  Is there a better wireless card available for the T400?
