RE: [Thinkpad] Installing 31P9701 a/b/g adapter in T40p

Ooops, I just dug out my Torx T7 and it doesn't fit. It appears I need the
Torx bit with a hollowed tip (security tip). That answers that!

IBM puts together a nice little video for removing the keyboard, palm rest
and mini-PC card:

Yes, you need #7 Torx bit to remove the 802.11a/b cards from the laptop.
There is a metal bracket that prevents the miniPCI card from being removed.

I was able to pick up a bit (it has a regular hex back for loading into a
multi-screwdriver) for $3 at my local hardware shop.
