X41 WIFI card in A31

[ganon11000]

I've acquired a ThinkPad X41 with a cracked screen and I wanted to take the wifi card and use it in a A31 but upon trying it, it said error 10 device cannot start. when using it in the x41 (apart from 3 black lines on the screen) it works fine, what am I doing wrong?

It's a A31 2652-KZG and a X41 2525-F8G and its a 2915ABG Intel PRO wireless.

Written on Lubuntu on my X41 using the WIFI card

2915ABG will not work in an A3x unit within Windows. 2200BG will.

darn, Oh well I've been offered a A31 wifi card for free

out of interest is it electrically incompatible or bios incompatible?
