I acquired a Dell b.g wifi card.

How do I do the CMOS hack to get it to work with my T40?

Get the no-1802 program. Make a boot disk, copy the file toboot disk. Run theboot disk on start up, then execute the no-1802 program. Install the card, you are are good to go.

I used google and had no luck finding the no-1802 program. Where can I get it?

Also does thic hack damage the Thinkpad in any way or lead to the possobility of problems in the future?

FWIW, the linux version of no-1802 also works fine (again at http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/thinkpad/hacks.html). I now use the Intel Wireless/Pro 2915 a/b/g card without problems. Last time I checked, that card was still not offered by IBM

What made you choose 2915 over the IBM mini-PCI II (AR5004X chipset)?

Availability of an open linux driver which will eventually be incorporated into the standard kernel (as opposed to madwifi's hal).
