i've not heard of a mini-pci wireless card for the T&A series..
it WOULD be nice, though..
but i think the thinkpad will need to be enabled for such an internal
device.. like with an antenna..
now there IS supposed to be something for the ultraport on the top..
but i have not seen such a thing coming, other than the bluetooth, maybe..
(bluetooth IS shipping for the PCMCIA slots)
i use an ORiNOCO (Lucent) and just got an SMC thing with a 3 port router and
a WAN port.. all rj45..
i've not hooked it up, yet..
all the cards should talk to any access point as long as they all conform to
802.11 (or whatever)..
Cordially, :-)
