I would like to upgrade the Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b card so I can get at least g. IBM doesn't list an cards for this model (R40) but some auctions on eBay say that there are a/b/g cards and others say they are not compatible, so I'm not sure which is correct.
I've been reading and searching but haven't found any information that is truly definitive.
