I recently got an Atheros card to upgrade my 3945abg from ebay.

Windows 7 installed a driver automatically (and there's no Win7 driver for this card from Lenovo). All the available networks are visible, but it just won't connect to anything.
It's a Lenovo card, FRU 39T5578 on the back matches the parts matrix.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Check device manager to see if the card is disabled or has an error/stop code. Its probably white listed (blocked) by the bios. What brand laptop do you have? Its possible to get a modded bios to remove this block.

I'm using a Thinkpad T60 and this card is an OEM part that was available from the factory in these machines. There shouldn't be any issue of it being white listed.
Device manager shows it as working properly.
Newly installed Atheros a/b/g card won't connect
