I installed an Intel 2100 (it was really cheap!), got 1802, did the "no-1802" error install, and installed the IBM driver. Worked first time. I'm managing the wireless link through Windows, did not install the IBM wireless management stuff.
This note is here just to let others know what worked.
I'm getting a 6' range to a D-Link DI-713P with no antennas on it at all. Now I have to disassemble and snap in the antennas.
