    I recently bought a referb IBM Thinkpad R40 2723-GU2 on ebay. It doesnt have a WIFI card built in which was something that I did want. I found one and bought it, but when I install it, it says "Unauthorized Network card, please remove and restart." Im thinking It might be fixed by a newer BIOs flash? Any other ideas?
