Upgrading wireless

#1 Post by krazykritter » Mon Oct 10, 2005 11:29 pm

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.

That's is true however in in the one that Wireless4laptops's refers to there is a a/b/g wireless card that is compatible.
