I have an IBM R32 Thinkpad, in my Device manager under "Other Devices" it says "network controller" what is this?? it has a yellow question mark on it. On the bottom of the lappy it says 802.11b mac address. is this controller part of a wireless network setup??
My work gave me this lappy, but they have no software for it...can this comp. go on the net and update its drivers for this device somehow?? or do i have to buy a card to put in the side of it?

Looks like it's got an internal Cisco 802.11b card. Check IBM's web site -- that's where you'll find all the downloads.
