Hi,
I've installed Arch linux (www.archlinux.org) on my T43. Now I'm
strugling to get wireless working. Under Windows XP it works fine. But
when I load the driver under linux, it does not, even though I get no
errors in the logs. Running iwconfig after loading the module returns
that no wireless interfaces are found. What is more, the wireless led is
off and it seems the adapter could just be turned off, however I've been
unable to find a way to turn it on. I have downloaded the latest
firmware (2.4) and, as I have already mentioned, it returns no errors.

Any suggestions?

BTW: I've managed to find this:
