T60p - add Belkin wireless N adaptor?

#1 Post by Garth » Mon Aug 01, 2011 2:47 pm

I've got a T60p which of course has an 802.11abg internal adaptor. I've also got a spare Belkin N PC-Card wireless adaptor. Has anyone tried using a similar PC Card adaptor in their T60p to improve the wireless speed? Does it work?

Any reason why it wouldn't?

Why not just swap the card for one capable of "N" speeds, such as ThinkPad abgn (Atheros-chipped) that was whitelisted for T60/p units?
