Reinstall Access IBM softwre

#1 Post by pdudas » Sat Apr 23, 2005 9:32 am

Hi!

1:
I bought a T41 with German OS. This is a 2373-3JG
http://www5.pc.ibm.com/europe/products. ... enDocument

I dont want to use it with german, I prefer english.
Unfortunately the Access IBM software is german too.

I looked the Ibm support site for downloads, but I cannot find the Access Ibm software.
How/where can I download the software needed to work th Access IBM button?

2:
I want to replace the wlan card to an atheros/prism chipset one.
Where can I order a card which will be working in T41?
What is the IBM FRU number of the card?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the links!

Managed to reinstall the Access IBM.
Now I want to find an Atheros/prism chipset based wlan card. Unfortunately the HMM does not contain the chipset of the cards in it.

Here is the IBM Hungary's price list: http://www-5.ibm.com/hu/products/pc/pri ... pcdopt.pdf Check page 4. and 5. What you are looking for is the IBM a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter and the IBM a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II. Contact Professzionál Kft. 1091 Budapest Üllői út 101. Phone: (36) 1 216 5300, (36) 1 215 7072 They can get you the card. I have IBM a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter in my T40, and works perfectly.

Edit: You can also contact Bill Morrow (Bill@thinkpads.com). He might have it in stock. He can give you a much better price, and ships worldwide too.

Good to know they have better prices. :wink: The two Mini PCI card I mentioned (IBM a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter, IBM a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II.) have Atheros chipset for sure.

Good luck!
