Update your wireless networking drivers through the IBM site.
Make sure you have XP, SP2 installed.
My guess is that you would need to stick with wireless B on an old machine. But doesn't your Netgear card work with wireless B and/or wireless G? Most cards do.

Hi, I have an older laptop (Ibm thinkpad 380 ed) and I would love to have a wireless card that would work with it. I have tried Netgear wireless g with no succes(would not recognize it) Any ideas?? Thanks Charles
