Does new A31 bios update work with 2200BG?

I ordered an Intel 2200BG (generic not IBM branded). I updated the bios and controller to the newest versions available. I was wondering if the card will work without the 1802 bios mod? I believe the bios is ver. 1.10 and the controller is 1.05 (or 1.04).

Most likely not. I am working on an A31 right now, and I tried to install my Intel BG 2200 wireless card, and was given the traditional 1802 error.

I believe that this A31 has the latest BIOS, but even if it doesn't, they didn't change the BIOS to allow these cards.

I second Steve's opinion, you will need to hack the BIOS.

Won't he also get the 01C9 POST errors with that card?

No he won't, you only get that error with Atheros cards.

Well...I downloaded the no-1802 fix in the bootable cd format iso. I booted off the CD fine but got the message " Win98 could'nt find valid FAT/FAT32 file system. Guess not, I'm running XP in NTFS file system. Any suggesstions?
