YES, but you'll need to use the Think Vantage Software Installer to install the appropriate Wireless Driver Manager. Easy as pie.

Err..

I don't think it will work. Even when you have an ORIGINAL IBM cand it is kind of difficult to make it work.

But there is nothing wrong in trying ssimon sugestion.

Good luck! :)
