Proud New T30 Owner - Some Questions

#1 Post by chrison600 » Fri Jul 15, 2005 2:32 pm

Hi all,

I've finally joined the ranks of the ThinkPadders and have a few guestions:

My T30 is not equipped with onboard wireless and I would like to change that. I came *this* close to ordering the Intel 2915 adapter and paused to wonder if there is an a/b/g adapter that also has modem support. Anyone?

I have a found a couple of "factory" internal antenna kits that place the antennae in the LCD bezel. Is that the best option?

Also, is it possible to enable onboard Bluetooth? If so, how? Would that preclude my ability to add wireless?

Any general hints/tips for a new owner?

Thanks!!

Chris

The T30 will not accept a non-IBM or IBM branded adapter that supports G, only a couple that support B, you'll have to use a small bios hack in order to be able to use g-cards.

Yes - I read about the hack. No problem with that, but I thought I'd try the card first to see if it was rejected. I'd like to find out about the modem and Bluetooth options before moving forward though.
