In my T42, the bottom of the laptop just under the touchpad, WLAN (2200bg) and Southbridge, it gets TOO HOOT. I can't tell the temperature since the TPFanControl does not show the PCI temperature (which is a sensor just below the WLAN Card)
Now, to the questions:
1. Is the 2200bg suppose to produce that enormous heat so that the bottom of the laptop?
2. Is TPFanControl supposed to be able to read the PCI sensor and all the sensors as if the laptop were a T43:
CPU 46°C (0x78)
APS 47°C (0x79)
PCM 36°C (0x7a)
GPU 51°C (0x7b)
BAT 38°C (0x7c)
BAT 33°C (0x7e)
BUS 0°C (0xc0)
PCI 0°C (0xc1) <- (Maybe the sensor screwed-up itself)
PWR 0°C (0xc2)
XC3 0°C (0xc3)
3. If the answer to Q1 is Yes, what's the recommended WLAN card to use on a T42p that does not produce that amount of heat?
