I can extract but something is not going on right. Out of frustration, I
put in a USB with Ubuntu 10.4 on it, booted it up and voila, I have
wireless. This is an irony as this was a Ubuntu machine before I started
my machinations, OI am getting ready to give to my computer unsavy
sister (not much more unsavy than her brother it seems!) and wanted the
familiar XP look. Perhaps it is time to stretch her a bit and go with
the Ubuntu, it also runs much faster even off the USB.

Can you extract 6hwc05ww.exe from the zip file? If so, can you run
6hwc05ww.exe?

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.

Same (non) response, I get a flash of a DOS screen and then nothing.
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,

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??
