Intel 2100b Wireless Card from T41 to X30?

[aphex]

X30 Model 2672-EU1

Anyone know if a 2100b card from a T41 would work in the X30?

How about a T22?

Yes, T4x series uses the same Intel MiniPCI Wi-Fi card, so it will work. However I couldn't find out if this X30 model has the wireless antenna built in the LCD or not. Maybe you will have more luck: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-44060 You can check it yourself: if you find two wires next to the MiniPCI card's place (AUX, MAIN) then you have it. Here is a little help for you:

And an installiation movie:

If you don't have the wireless antenna in the LCD, you can order it, and install it yourself. The FRU number is 27L6745.

I would say that it would probably NOT work. Even if you model had the built in antennas IBM has probably stopped this card from working in the BIOS.

It would porbably say unauthorized device error 1802 on startup.

I tried the same card from my t40 on my T30 and it gave me that error. I think the only cards that will work on the X30 are the IBM High rate wireless card and the cisco card
