X32 question: Is there a compatible wireless N card?

[cogitordi]

My X32 is still going strong and it's still better than any netbook that I have ever seen.

I would, however, like to install a wireless N card if there is one that is known to be compatible with the X32.

I detest Broadcom. I would prefer Atheros but I am open to any suggestions that are *not* Broadcom.

EDIT: I found this discussion: "http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=75612".

You'll need a "no-1802" hack, but it's an Atheros-based cared, and works very well.

For anyone else still using decaying hardware, here's the page where one can find the BIOS patcher:

The patcher worked on my X32 without a problem.

Forget the TP-Link driver: it isn't certified for M-Windows XP. Here is the driver to use:

Code: Select all

Expand the archive. Install the driver by pointing the Hardware wizard directly to the directory containing the SYS, CAT, and INF files. My version of the TP-Link card is V2; I needed to use the first of the two drivers displayed.
