Wireless Mini-PCI adapter for a T23?

#1 Post by vakero1 » Thu Aug 19, 2004 12:00 pm

I went to the IBM page and on the upgrades option of the t23(2647-4mu) and I don't see a wireless Mini PCi wireless card. So there isn't a way to install one?

I had a 2647 T23 and it had an IBM High Rate Wireless card in it. Worked great, too. I don't have the machine now, and don't know the part number off the top of my head, but you should be able to look it up for your model. ... JDHurst

You CAN put in any mini-PCI wifi card, but there is no antenna!
There is a company that sells an antenna, you can install it yourself, so a we search.
It does work, not great, you won't get super range, but it does work

Does it have to be a IBM model? I cant find a mini pci wifi model in my t23's accesory upgrades list on IBM's website.

Any card of the proper form factor will work.
