I did the search for this and it still is not making much sense to me. I need very descriptive instructions on what to do. I popped in the atheros 5004 card and i got the 1802 and 01c9 error messages. I need to know where to start and EXACTLY what to do, please dont leave any steps out. This is all very foreign to me and I bought this card with the pretense that this hack would be pretty easy. So if anyone has a good list or instructions please fill me in as I need very much help. If this is a tough problem to write instructions for I will give someone my phone # and maybe we could make a phone call to situate this. Thank you very much ahead of time.

thats a really great link. Well i chose to save the file and than i tried to open it later in my documents but i dont have software to open iso files. I really need that list of instructions broken down for me alot farther. I am not very confident in my abilities to do what it says. Like open the image? Boot from disc? Shut down after pressing Ctrl/Alt/Delete. I probably know what this all means but im kind of freaking out and probably not thinking straight. Is there anybody out there that can walk me through this over the phone? If you can please IM me your phone number or something. I really want this wifi to go asap cuz im tired of dragging around a 50' patch cord off my router!!!!!!!

After downlwa, start with the first step:

ThinkWiki wrote:1. Burn the .ISO file to a CD/DVD. Make sure to open the image instead of burning it as a regular file on the disc.

Burn the image and then boot from it.

I finally got some trial software to read the .iso but i cant pick that image file and burn it to disc. Im really having alot of trouble with this, if there is anybody that I could call please IM me. I will paypal you like $5 or something for your time and trouble. Please help me if you can.

There is another way to turn the 1802 message off without having to create a linux live boot disk. Do a google search for no-1802 and you should find a very small (~20 bytes) dos .exe file that you can load on a bootable floppy or usb flash drive. Just boot up, run the exe and the 1802 message should disappear.
BTW you can view a .iso file using winrar.

I appreciate the tip, but probably the only way im going to figure this out is if i can talk to somebody who can walk me through it over the phone. Please help if you can, like i said i will pay you some money for your help. Oh and its saying the 01c9 error as well so I guess the only way to fix it is through thinkwiki

If I had the spare time, I would help you over the phone, as I did with dsigma6.

The first thing to know, on your part, is that you aren't "reading" ISO files.

What CD burning program do you have?

Do you have a floppy drive?

skitty4gzus · #9 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 9:58 pm

um i just got a free trial of winimage to read the iso file. I do have a floppy drive, but not sure if i have a blank disc. I could probably do this with some very specific instructions. Im using winimage and i just cant get the file on disc? If i could get that file to disc i could prolly get the rest of the patch figured out.

Website · #10 Post by **tfflivemb2** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:04 pm

OK. I just quickly installed version 8.0 of winimage.

If you have the image ready to go on your computer, open winimage and choose "Disk", and then go down the list to "Create CD-ROM ISO Image". A new window will open. You will then need to choose your CD burner drive from the drop down menu, and then click on "browse" to find the ISO file that you already have on your system. This should then create the CD that you need to boot your system and apply the patch.

If this doesn't work, then we can try another method using NTFS4DOS.

I cant get the image file to the disc part. It keeps saying file path incorrect or something like that. Do i need to take the image file out of the rest of them and save it somehow somewhere else than take it to the disc portion?

Website · #12 Post by **tfflivemb2** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:20 pm

Where is the ISO stored on your system? (ie. C:\ or My Documents?)

skitty4gzus · #13 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:22 pm

its in my documents and I see all the files from the ibmwifi main file but i cant get just that image file to the disc creator in winimage

Website · #14 Post by **tfflivemb2** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:24 pm

OK, wait.....nevermind. I see now that this program "CREATES" ISO files. This is NOT what you want to do.

What other program do you have on your system to be able to burn a CD? Forget about the ISO thing right now. If you have music or files on your system, how would you burn them to a CD? (ie. Nero, NTI CD-Maker, Roxio, etc.)

i just got this t30 and all i have on it is itunes.

Website · #16 Post by **tfflivemb2** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:28 pm

Do you have a PC with a CD burner?

Or if all else fails, do you have a blank floppy?

skitty4gzus · #17 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:31 pm

yep i just got the burner drive today in the mail. I do have a floppy drive, but i will have to find a floppy laying around.

Is this a drive for your T30, or a PC? If it is for the T30, does it come with any software, aside from drivers?

- Download the trial of Alcohol 120 (CD/DVD burning program, only 6.5MB), install
- pop in a blank CD
- start the program
- click "Image Burning Wizard"
- click "Browse" and point to the downloaded .iso file from ThinkWiki
- click "Next" and then "Start"
- leave the written CD in the drive, turn off the laptop
- Turn on the machine, press F12 and boot from CD
- follow the steps from ThinkWiki

skitty4gzus · #20 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:38 pm

no i dont think so i just got it from another member on here. Yes its for my laptop, but i think i got roxio on my pc or nero. I could get on there if i need to burn something. or i could try and find a floppy.

Even better.....and well outlined!

skitty4gzus · #22 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:48 pm

downloading software right now. That is what i needed i think. Especially the f12 startup, i never would have known that.

skitty4gzus · #23 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:55 pm

do i want the bzImage or the .img file, and how do i grab just that file?

Orevin · #24 Post by **Orevin** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 11:01 pm

Unzip the file from ThinkWiki. This (ibm_wifi.iso) is the one you need

skitty4gzus · #25 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 11:04 pm

i want the iso file and all the individual files in that iso? It says on thinkwiki i just want the image file? Man this is confusing

Orevin · #26 Post by **Orevin** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 11:09 pm

Unzip the downloaded ibm_wifi.zip. You will get the ibm_wifi.iso. Point Alcohol to this ibm_wifi.iso. You don't have to extract anything out of the ibm_wifi.iso.

skitty4gzus · #27 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 11:19 pm

ok i tried to boot from cdrom and it just went to windows like normal. No place or choice to remove 1802? Which choice should i choose on the list. I chose cdrom but which one is the right one?

skitty4gzus · #28 Post by **skitty4gzus** » Mon Jun 19, 2006 11:44 pm

i dont think the files got burned correctly to disc. I really dont think the settings were right in the software. I really still need help and i cant believe there is nobody out there to help me who wants money? This is harder than i thought it would be.

danage · #29 Post by **danage** » Tue Jun 20, 2006 1:15 am

please, a lot of people are trying to help. it is just often times not easy to diagnose with such little information.

here is my guess: the .iso didn't get burned right. which cd burning program did you use?
in nero, you do the following: when you start nero, DO NOT tell it to burn a data disc. press cancel in the opening dialogue, so that all you get is the menu and a grey background. you then go to file/open. pick the .iso file. a dialogue will pop up, you are ready to burn. do so.

you put the cd into the thinkpad, and at bootup you press F12 (as is prompted on the "ibm" screen). there should be only one cdrom to pick. pick it. THEN, follow step 2 and on from my thinkwiki instructions.
