T22 internal wireless solution?

[ulrich.von.lich]

According to what I've read on the forum, some Atheros cards seem to have problems to be recognized correctly. Will Intel cards be ok?

I failed to order the antenna from IBM. The part doesn't seem to exist anymore. Does anyone know if the wireless antenna is interchangeable among different models? (such as T30 or A31?)

Thanks in advance!

Note sure about the interchangeability between the various systems, but the T22 did not come with factory wireless. So unless you have swapped a T23 lid onto the T22, then the plastic "windows" for the antennas do not exist and you will probably get less than satisfactory reception.

As far as I know, the T22 (and T23) does not have a problem with a wireless "whitelist". However, I've only put Broadcom-based WiFi cards in my T23s and 600X.

edit: BTW, here's some threads on the subject:

A couple of places in these threads there were comments about T22s having factory wireless. I've never seen one, nor does the HMM state that such an animal was ever built. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
