Intel 4965AG (n-disabled) - How to enable N-standard?

[auchenberg]

Hey all

I just received my brand new X61 Tablet... [censored] its nice..

My model contains a Intel 4965AG (n-disabled), and as you can see from the description the N-standard is disabled.

To investigate the hardware aspect, I opened my X61, too see the card itself:

As you can see at the picture, my X61T has three antennas = N-standard, but the model says 4965AG_ (underscore)

Is the limit hardware-based or is it only the firmware/software?

How do I enable N-standard?

Thanks...

you'll probably need to buy a 4965AGN card.

hopefully your TR1 antenna works ok.   the kink in your picture looks bad.

Ahhh crap.. Why the hell are they using a 4965 without N! I simply dont get it!

Ohh, the kink.. I did not see it until now


Do you know how it would affect the warranty if i'm changing the 4965AG to 4965AGN?

wireless cards are considered system parts and system parts are not considered CRUs (customer-replaceable units).   however, if you change the card and have a warranty issue then just reinstall the original card before sending in your thinkpad.

If you swap the exact cards you stated, there would be no effect on warranty.
