T61 8889-02U Verizon WLAN Mini PCI (42T0929) and 802.11n

#1 Post by josh999 » Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:25 pm

I will get this model, but as a relative newbie at this have a few questions:

Is there anything special or unusual about this particular mode that I should know?

If I order (afterwards) a Verizon WLAN Mini PCI (42T0929), is it difficult to put in? How can I be sure the antennas are in there for it? If not, is the antenna easy to put in, or is there somewhere that that I can go to install it if difficult?

Lastly, the specs for this system say that it has 80n.11b "N"...but that "N" is "disabled" Any way to "enable" it? ;-)

Thanks!

Where are you getting this from? If it really has an "N" card, you would enable it in the "Device Manager". If this is an ebay transaction, make SURE about all of this, BEFORE you win or close out an auction with BuyItNow.

No.
