I installed Atheros 5004GX Wireless Mini PCI but no success ... I use no-1802 and 0179 to fix the problem.. so now no error but still not working.. in Device its shows as device but no resources allocated ...

any solution ???

I bought IBM 2915ABG as well so once I got it I'll try ... what other Min i PCI card I can use??

any Help would be highly appreciated

Welcome to thinkpads.com!

I have not used anything else besides the original Actiontec modem/802.11b combo card and a Broadcom-based (BCM94306) 802.11b/g card in a T23. Neither one requires any special treatment in BIOS (i.e., no-1802 patch). If the card has been detected by Windows, it should launch the "New Hardware Found" wizard. If that doesn't happen then the only thing I can think of at the moment is to revert to the BIOS defaults and start over.

I tried searching for the Atheros card you mentioned but could not find ANY reference to it anywhere. Can you verify the model number?

Interesting, my Atheros 5212a (a/b/g) MiniPCI works just fine in my T23 after using the 019c (or maybe the 1802, can't remember it's been a while). Anyway, what driver version are you trying with the card? Might not be compatible. I found this: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/d ... 3&qtxs=ndz which seems to be the newest version available. I can't test it as I don't run Windows on any of my T2x series systems though. Oh, that site requires a login/pass, User: drivers Pass:all Mods if it's not ok to post that, remove it.

Think this would work in a T22? I have a spare IBM 2200.

But do you lose your 10/100?
