OK, I know that this has been asked many, many times, but I am curious if anyone actually has an AC wifi adapter installed installed in a T61 or similar.
I currently have a Atheros AR9281 (2.4Ghz only) and the original Intel 3945ABG adapter installed, along with middleton's excellent bios
Also, does anyone know if a June/08 nVidia board that has not been replaced but still works will continue to survive?

Two wireless adapters that operate at overlapping frequencies installed in the same computer might compromise performance.

If you use Windows, your T61 will work with the Broadcom BCM94352HMB, Intel 7260HMW AC.

@Qing Dao
Does Fn+F5 work for 7260ac on T61?

I made the upgrade on lenovo t60 802.11ac. Works fine with fn+f5. One new discovery is that battery increased a lot with wifi, before i had like 2h on wifi, now its 4h+.

I have booted T61 (T601 Frankenpad) with Intel's 7260 Ok. But it haven't XP drivers.
But it doesn't boot up with Broadcom's BCM94352 in WLAN slot.
More detailed story is here - http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=115847.

May be this is only one broken BCM94352 device, but it works well in other slot.

I guess I will have to go for the BCM94352HMB as I have just hackintoshed
Thanks for everyone's help!

Ok. Please post your experience with BCM94352HMB and T61 here. May be my BCM94352HMB simple damaged item.

Sadly, it will be a while before I can take out 30$ of my dinner $s
I will post results though.
PS: if anyone wants to hackintosh with an T61 nvidia board, Madara-san's files work perfectly except for the DSDT GPU labels.
