Can anyone tell me, which mini pci card can be used to ugrade from 'b' (11 Mbits) to 'g' (54 Mbits). I have tryed the "b/g mini pci card" and received the message from bios 'Bios Lock, unsupported card".

I forgot to indicate my system: R40, 2722.CDG.

Sorry

There should be a utility. no1802.exe that will fool your bios into accepting the card.

FYI-

You have to run this once from a DOS prompt after booting from a floppy (or DOS CD/USB memory stick).

Nothing seems to happen - nothing shows on the screen after executing the program, but it does work.

I used the utility for my R40 with an Atheros/IBM b/g adapter. It still works perfectly.

One more note, with the generic Intel card, the WiFi LED and the on-screen utility (Fn-F5) may not work.

Also, please post your results. Thanks.

I have not tried this - but it seems more software related - so editing the files and putting in the PCI ID seems like a good solution.
