    Not sure if this should be posted in the Lenovo or Network section so feel free to move to the correct one mods.

    I used to have a T60p with the Intel wireless card. Didn't like it, so I went out and bought the IBM one, it was great. Now that I'm using a Sony laptop with the same Intel 3945 card, would I be able to still use the IBM one assuming they're all mini pci-express?

    I don't see why I wouldn't be able to, but just wanted to hear some opinions before I put the money down.

    Yeah, the limitation only goes one way, IIRC. You can use TP cards on everything, but only TP cards on TPs. (Without a hack)
