Unable to see Wireless Connection icon in My network Connections

Hi,

Im Unable to see Wireless Connection icon in My network Connections. I have
done the following observations on my T43 Lenovo laptop which has built in
wireless modem 802.11 b/g.

1)The Wireless Config Services is running in automatic mode and is enabled
2)The wireless adapter is not visible in Device Manager. It is not listed
under other devices as well.
3)The laptop does not display the wireless antenna switched on ie. the LED
does not glow on the laptop keyboard for Wireless antenna.

Any suggestions on how to view the wireless connection icon and enable
wireless adapter would be helpful.

Thanks,

 

It sounds like you may need to reinstall the wireless driver. I would
suggest going into the control panel and then add or remove programs and
un-install the wireless driver, reboot your computer and then re-install the
driver.

Hi
I think that the Laptop has a physical switch to switch on the Wireless
adaptor. Make sure that it is actually in On Position.

On T43, probably it needs to be enabled in BIOS.
The switch alone can't make it invisible in dev. manager.
