Thanks for the responses on this. I did check BIOS before posting my
message, the wireless card was just dead.
Lenovo sent me a new card (5300 series a/b/g/n card instead of the b/g/n
card it previously had), and everything seems to be working just fine with
the new card. I'm hopeful that switching to a different model wireless
ard will prove to be a permanent fix.

First, check to see if the device has been disabled in the bios,
stranger things have happened
Second, using a bootable disk like BartPE or UBCD4Win, start up the
laptop & scan for the hardware device to see if recognized by XP (the
boot disk's OS)
If these method do not resolve the issue, then either a bad batch of the
wifi cards is circulating or your mainboard is faulting the cardslot.
Hope for your good results
