Yea, that's what I have been doing results are abysmal. Taking another tack, any hints on getting the Ethernet running, I could then go on line with the machine and get my updates at Lenovo.

Just to clarify, I have downloaded this file on another machine (T43 if it matters) and then copied it to a USB jump drive and then moved the jump drive to the X32.

Hmmm, there is no such directory even after a "unhide" the system files; under C I have Documents and settings, Program Files, and WINDOWS and under WINDOWS I have driver cache/i386/driver.

Your wireless driver is here:

http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/6hwc05ww.zip

After downloading and extracting it, you might have to go to C>Drivers>Win>Wlanint and run the setup file from there.

Once you get that running, you can update the rest of drivers...

Good luck.

Cheers,

George

Subject: [Thinkpad] X32 wireless driver saga, cntd.




Thanks for the responses, the model number of the X32 is 2672 A43.



In device manager I have the Yellow Exclamations for "Other devices"

under which are also listed Ethernet Controller, Multimedia Audio

Controller, Network Controller, PCI Modem, Unknown device, and Video

Controller.



When I click on the downloaded driver (On a USB jump drive since I have

no internet connection on the X32) I get a flash of a DOS screen and

then nothing.

I assume the wireless is the Unknown device, any help is appreciated.

Perhaps recovery disks are the way to go??
