Hi.

The boss recently purchased a wireless laptop (IBM Thinkpad) and it has an integrated a/b/g 802.11 card. However it is not seeing the wireless network in our building! I have several other laptops in the office (Dell, HP, etc) and they can all see the signal fine, but this one cannot.

Is there some trick to the IBM's that i dont know about?

I have verified that SSID broadcast is enabled, updated the AP to the latest firmware (Linksys WRT54G 2.0), i even loaded the latest drivers for the wireless NIC...

stumped....
