Thinkpad x61 Wireless problem.

After doing some updates to my computer, the integrated wireless adapter stopped working.  The light won’t even come on.  I thought it may have been one of the Vista updates, but I think I was wrong.  I did several updates that day and I think I also did updates via the ThinkVantage Software Updater.

I have a feeling the update disabled the card in BIOS, for some reason or another.  I have to confirm this when I get home from work.

    I quote from: http://betweengo.com/miscellaneous/2006/10/31/thinkpad-t60-wireless-keeps-powering-off/ “One day I noticed my wireless kept powering off after five minutes. I am not sure why but I opened ThinkVantage Access Connections (Fn + F5), went to Configure > Global Connections and turned off “Enable automatic wireless LAN radio control”. That seemed to fix the problem.”
