we found out that my Thinkpad 240 had a MiniPCI slot. We joked about swapping it out, and about 3 weeks ago, Peterson <a href="http://www.bawug.org/images/equipment/matt_hacks/ibm570_minipci/">tried it out</a> with his 570. He ran into some bios problems.
A couple of hack nights ago, we attempted to swap out the MiniPCI winmodem in my thinkpad with a MiniPCI linksys card (ripped from a PCI card) and see if we could get past the problem he was having. Sad to say, it didn’t work, but it wasn’t because of any software. There is a connector on the motherboard that probably needs to be there that is in the way. We could probably have solved this by cutting the board and doing manual jumps, but I think I’d rather wait for a smaller MiniPCI card to emerge. Hopefully something that does a/b/g like this atheros card.
