I have a Thinkpad R60 with eComstation 2.1 and the original Intel 802.11b/g WiFi card.
I've tried connecting the machine to both my U-Verse 802.11ac router and an old 802.11g Airport Express router and I can't connect to either. The Connect button is never enabled.
The only way I've been able to connect the machine to the Internet so far was when I had my Android phone configured as a WiFi hot spot with no security enabled. Needless today, I would like a more permanant, secure solution.
Does anyone know what specific security settings eCom is looking for so that I can configure one of the routers appropriately?
The funny thing is, I have a second, identical, R60 with Ubuntu and I have no difficulty connecting with that machine to the U-verse router.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Keith Sheehan

In the Hardware Manager, the card is listed as Intel 3945 a/b/g.
As for the settings, I am right-clicking on the WiFi icon in the lower-right corner and selecting 'Public Hotspots > Scan for Hotspots'. When I select my SSID from the list the 'Connect' button at the bottom of the 'Scan for Hotspots' dialog is

The available settings on the Airport Express I am trying to use are
Radio Mode: 802.11b/g, b Only or g Only
Wireless Security: None, WPR 40 or 128bit, WPA/WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Personal, WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise
Which settings for the access point would be the best settings for the WiFi card in the laptop?
Thanks!

For my T42, I had to create a profile, which I named "Home" by right clicking the WiFi widget and entered the needed info. My hub doesn't
have much in the way of settings. For the T42, I'm using (under the
security tab) Wi-Fi Protected access (WPA2-PSK) and entered the
preshared key which I believe I read off the bottom of the hub, under
the battery. The key is of the form 123ABCDE2A with different numbers
and letters then I posted.
Under the Connection tab, I have the Profile Name-Home and under connect
to, Basic/Extended Service Set (BSS/ESS) and the SSID that I also read
of the bottom of the Hub, looks something like ISP012F
I was lucky as it was my first try and it just worked.
