T4X Wireless N

#1 Post by prisoner2019 » Thu Jan 14, 2010 11:14 am

Hello,

I am looking for a Mini PCI card that has ABG and N Final (Not Draft) for my T42P.

Has anybody tried this in a T4X?

This looks like a great card to use. I would assume it would work with the No 1802 Error Fix.

Any thoughts?

Don't know if it will work even after the 1802 BIOS hack. And even if it does, you'll need to fabricate an "N" antenna somehow.

I have a similar card working in my X32.
A few pointers:
- you need the 1802 patch
- you can get the card working with the two g antenna that are already installed. You do not need a third antennae. But then you may not archive the full speed.
- Use the Lenovo drivers. New Thinkpads like the T6x series do support wifi N with Atheros cards, those drivers should work for your card as well.

The wifi led will most probably not work. There may be ways to get it working, but I never bothered with that.

If you want to use Fn-F5 to turn the wifi on/off you need to either patch the pci id of the card or hex edit the fnf5.exe.
