Could anyone tell me, which Wireless card to buy for my T30. One that will be recognised by the bios and also Access Conections. I have always had need of the 'A' band on this laptop and because of this, I have had to use an Intel 2915 abg card, which works fine but is not recognised by Access Conections. Now I no longer need to conect to any 'A' routers I would like to use Access Conections on both my thinkpads as I realy like it (always have).
So, I have the latest bios that recognises the 'G' band it's now just a question of getting the right card. I understand Atheros chips are considered one of the better ones.

Says here the 2915 should be supported by access connections, but it mentions a specific driver (10.5.1.59 or higher).

Harry, thanks for the reply, I checked that site and T30 is not supported. I think I read somewhere on the forum that when the bios was updated to allow 'G' cards it did not include 'A' cards.

T30 is listed under supported systems at that site.

I checked again and I cannot find the T30 listed under:

Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG, 2200BG adapter 9.0.4.35 or:

Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2200BG, 2915ABG, 3945BG and 3945ABG Mini PCI adapter 10.5.1.59

Could you please point me in the right direction.
