To see what hardware you have, go to http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T41

To download the files from Lenovo/IBM, go to http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-46258.html

Alternatively you can go to the chipmaker's site, e.g. for the network controller, Intel.

What do you mean by this?

I'd try uninstalling the ATI drivers, and reinstalling them. It sounds like something got messed up in the install process.

By modem you mean router? If so, your router may not be broadcasting it's SSID. Have you tried typing in your network name manually?

For your 56k modem, could it be dead? Did you use it before you reinstalled? You could look for generic chipset drivers from the manufacturer.

That doesn't make sense; wireless is wireless. If you can pick up other routers, you should be able to pick up yours. Could you be stuck on wireless B, while your router's broadcasting in A only? I don't know if a B adapter would see an A router or not, but it could be invisible to it.

I'm not sure tbh. You can check the router by looking in it's setup menu. The laptop adapter, I don't know. Maybe poke around in the wireless utilities for the adapter and see what it says in there.
