Does Lenovo still sell this wireless card?

#1 Post by noeffort » Sat Jun 02, 2007 9:12 pm

Hi,
Check Lenovo's site but I cant find this card for sale there,
IBM a/b/g/ wireless mini pc adapter FRU 91P7301.
Anyone know if they still sell this?

I almost posted that. (Was afraid of being slammed for ignoring his "lenovo-specific" request) ;)

What type of Thinkpad do you have? I have a T41p and just swapped out my 'b' card with an Intell 2200bg card I found on Ebay for $30. You just have to make sure that the card has a FRU # on it to make sure that it is IBM compatible (otherwise you have to download some patches, etc. to make it work). After I downloaded the drivers from Intel's site, it works perfect. I consistently get strong fast connections.

Still there... but it'll prolly be cheaper purchasing elsewhere...

EDIT: Didn't notice the FRU that you were looking for... I'm assuming that's the 1st gen ABG card... If you specifically only want that one, I'm afraid IBM/Lenovo has discontinued it...
IBM T43 2668-95U / ATI X300
Backup: IBM T41P 2373-GGU / ATI FireGL T2
SOLD: IBM X40 2371-8EU..

Technically, it's a hack, and a potentially warranty voiding one, at that. The risk is there, although it's negligible considering most are successful applying it.
