mini PCI wi-fi on T22 ?

#1 Post by dainova » Thu Dec 14, 2006 2:13 pm

Hi,
Friend gave me a wi-fi mini PCI card, but I found that this slot is already taken by <Intel pro/100 mobil combo adapter> i.e. LAN + modem, if i'm right.

Does it mean that there is no way to put mini PCI without sacrifacign this combo ?

Read your comments that some T22 run better on 256M than 512M of RAM, why like this, or could be some slow memory.

Giving up the combo isn't the only thing you have to worry about. Although you usually only have up the modem which most people don't use, the main issue is that in order to use the wireless part of the card you'll have to have an internal antenna. Some T23s were made with the wireless option, but I believe, very few if any T22 had the antennas built in. So you'll either have to find the unicorn or figure out a way to shoehorn an after-market antenna into the case somewhere.

Here, read this:

It's about a T23 but I think that you can put the antenna into a T22 in the same area (next to the main battery along the right edge of the base).
