I have a T60 as well. The wireless card is a:
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
I had to change the driver to "iwl3945" and reboot. Once I did that
the card works (in that I can see and occasionally connect to Wireless
Access Points) but this is *very* spotty and the times I *am* able to
connect, the connection drops quite often.
This did not happen with prior to the 10.3 update and subsequent driver
change. The WAP in question is in my home environment and other
machines (including other T60s running other OSs) are able to connect
without issue.
