Lightbulb Getting my WiFi to woRk on THINKPAD t41

I HAVE A T41 THINK PAD WITH THE BUILT IN A/B/G WIRELESS PC CARD,

ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET DRIVERS FOR THIS, AND/OR WHAT I need to do to get it to work with my FC3 OS.

Appreciate the help.

1) Identify the card's chipset. lspci -v or dmesg can help
2) Google for your driver - you'll either be using one written for the card (MadWiFi for Atheros for example) or a loader that uses the Windows driver (ndiswrapper)
3) Install per the driver README instructions
4) Post specifics on any error messages

From IBM's website it looks like an Intel Pro2200 card. Go to ipw2200.sourceforge.net, get the latest drivers and firmware, and install them using the instructions in the tarball.

good link for info about setting up wifi for Thinkpads
A really good place to find info on setting up Wifi on a Thinkpad is the Thinkpad wiki at thinkwiki.org. Just go to the Wifi section.
