Unauthorized Wirelss card 1802 on T43

[msidd]

I installed an Intel 2200 from my T42 to my newer T43 (1871-FU1) and I'm getting an unauthorized wireless 1802 error. I updated the BIOS and tried again but no luck.

What can I do to get around this and boot up?

I searched and found the no-1802.com solution but this doesn't work for T43's apparently. Also I can't find a working link for the download except for one which IMGburn doesn't recognize the formal.

Or, if you don't feel like modding the BIOS, drop me a PM, I have several cards pulled out of T43/p units available...

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I ended up buying an Intel 2915ABG for $10!

Back story, my T42 needed a reflow because it started having the infamous GPU problem so I bought a T43 with a missing wireless card, LCD, optical drive, and HDD. Hopefully the T43 won't have this problem because I spent a lot of time building the new one.

I love this forum!
