If it had WiFi would have been enabled. SO, use a WiFi dongle which is easy to install and perfect to use. A USB port device.

Is there a wi-fi swtich on thinkpad r52?
IBM load there own set of software on there notebooks which take care of networking lan and wi-fi, I have found if try to use the windows native wireless checker it does not pick the networks up. Try using the IBM program either in the taskbar near the clock or in the start menu.
Also in Device Manager does the wi-fi device show up.
There also may be a light that indicates wi-fi is on on at the front or or above the keyboard if its off let me know.
Other possibility is to uninstall the driver for the wireless device restart and let it reinstall automatically.

you can see the wi-fi switch...you turn on and it will work if you install already the wireless driver...its only the problem with the switch combination between wireless..there some option also for enabling the wi-fi...you can press FN key + wi-fi botton.
