IBm thinkpad wireless questionto my home wireless network. It's wireless upgradable ready (the antenna wires are already installed and there is a mini pci slot) I've been looking at the IBM 31P9107 as it supports 802.11a/b/g. In trying to determine weather this card is compatable with my system I found the following information on the IBM USA site: On this page, http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-52623 the information shows a compatability with the ThinkPad R40 Celeron and P4 2681. but on this page, http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=-840&langId=-1&partNumber=31P9701&storeId=1 the list of compatable laptops does not include the ThinkPad R40 Celeron and P4 2681. Anyone know which is true? Thanks, Tracy Tracy wrote:

You might get an answer here from someone who has the exact same machine as you do, but your chances will be greater in a Thinkpad-specific venue. Good luck.
