Welcome to the forum!

The issue of "no-1802" not working on R32 machines has been reported by several members here...with no fix in sight.

What card are you trying to use/enable?

Sent patched BIOS to OP, card reported to work without any side effects.

Sorry to kick up this old thread, but seeing that there is a solution offered to the same problem I'm facing, i thought it would be worth a try.

I currently have a almost new R32 (has been catching dust in our storage as spare laptop), and wanted to install a 2200BG Wireless card. Upon booting i was faced with the 1802 error. I did much reading, searched google and found several solutions. The most common is the no-1802 ISO. but that did not work on the IBM R32.

I'm hoping the original poster or zender are still active here and can provide me with a solution to get my wireless card accepted by the R32 and make my daughter a happy girl with a wireless enabled laptop.

Thanks in advance.

i THINK that zender has taken his bios to greener climes.. err, well, to a dedicated web site someplace..
others might know more..

welcome to the forum..

Check your PM (new messages at the top of each web page).

If you could see me now... I'm smiling ear to ear!

I just 'altered' the IBM R32 and afterwards inserted the Intel 2200BG. I only needed to install the drivers and now i'm good to go. My R32 is running on wireless now. Did i mention I'm smiling my teeth out? One little lady is going to be happy tonight watching Nick JR streams on her new laptop.

Thank you, RealBlackStuff and awesome community.

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem with my old R32 and WiFi card. The original one isn't working and when i put intel 2200BG error 1802 apprear. Help please with modded BIOS?!

The usual..

Hi ... The usual is?! Can You give me a working link for modded BIOS?

Thanks, i've red the PM!

Hi,
I have recently installed a Belkin AP in my house and applied WPA protocol instead of old WEP protocol for security. I felt good by this change, but this created a new problem...my R32 native wireless miniPCI card(an integrated WiFi and Modem, Intel 2100B, I think) did not support WPA, so I bought a new miniPCI card(Atheros AR5213A model) and installed it on R32. On power up, I was faced with "1802" error and R32 refuses to boot up. I looked around and found that there once was a work-around to solve this problem with "Zenders modded Bios" which is no where to be found. I tried "no-1802" util and sure enough, it did not work with my R32. Can anyone hep me with pointing to a right direction where I might find modded Bios for my R32?

Zender's BIOS is not applicable to your machine, but to *60 series only.

Objection your Honor.
Zender DID make an R32 BIOS!
OP, YGPM!

I stand corrected, then.

Hi guys.
I have the exact same problem with "Beholder101" (R32 and 2200BG) and I would very much appreciate if you awesome RealBlackStuff ,or any other guy here, could provide the solution to me.
Thank you very much.

I will submit the outcome in a few days when the wifi card arrives.
