R31 and wifi?

#1 Post by SPIKE2k10 » Fri Jul 09, 2010 5:26 pm

Hi I've got a laptop its an Optronix OP-300, know info on it at all but looks pretty much upto date, as has wifi and a Pentium M 1.5GHz CPU, it doesnt work and has bodged power socket fix.

What I was wondering is do you think the mini pci wifi card would work in my R31 the wifi is Intel I think and has its cable.

If it's a miniPCI card, chances are good.

Never seen an R31, but I assume it is a variety of the T23.
To build wifi into a T23, see this (made by our Admin): http://www.rkawakami.net/ibm_t2x/t23_wireless/
