About IBM original 2200/2915 & INTEL 2200/2915 wifi card

#1 Post by fatlen » Sat Aug 09, 2008 11:24 pm

I want find a way to use Intel 2200/2915 wifi card in the thinkpad.

First i fixed the 1802 error by change it pci id to IBM standard pci id.
and install ibm wifi card driver, hotkey drvier, and access connection. All of the drivers are working well, but only wifi light is still off.
There have only last one problem which how to connect wifi light cathode.
I already find that IBM card pin13 is connect wifi light cathode, but INTEL card pin 13 is wifi on/off. I think there may be small different of two card
I try to find a IBM2200 wifi card, but i failed.
Would everybody who can take a picture of IBM 2200 wifi card with the label are removed for me.

I will release the final result after i fixed the all problem.

thx

Hi sarbin, thanks.

I have already seen this article. But according to my test result, the method of this article seems not correct.
The pin 13 must high if radio is off. If we connect the pin13 to GND, the light may not off when radio is shut down.

so i want compare with original IBM2200 card for get a way to fixed all wifi card problem.
