First, please ensure that the wireless switch is set to 'on'.  You will
find it in front of your machine (left hand side of the touch pad; it is
on when being pulled to the right).

Also, as the T60 uses Intel Pro Wireless 3945 chip, please make sure
that you have running the required regularity daemon ('ipw3945d').  I'm
not familiar with Ubuntu; there's probably someone else on the list who
knows how to deal with packaging questions for your distribution.
