Wireless can not be activated; SL510 Windows 7

I have a big problem with my Thinkpad SL510 Windows 7.

Everything I try, I'm not able to activate the wireless card. When I diagnose the network connection, it says somethink like "the device is not active or not installed. However, the device is correctly listed as 'Intel WiFi Link 100 BGN' in Device Manager. All windows updates are installed, and the Lenovo Update Manager displays only an update optional (Intel Chipset driver for Windows 7) that gives an error when you try to install it.

A strange thing is that when I use the command "ping 127.0.0.1" in the shell, only 1-2 out of the 4 tent give a result, others show a time-out error.

More, the device works properly with a disk of Linux Live, the material seems to be ok. It does not work with windows 7.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm desperate...

Thanks for your help...

OK, I found the solution.

There seems to be a problem with the firewall and Windows 7. So I just uninstalled the firewall, installed the WLAN driver again and now it works...

Strange, but ok...
