I have a R40 ThinkPad.I wish to add a wireless card that is 802.11b compliant,to it so that I can connect it to a WLAN.What is the best that I should go for?Are there any compatibility issues I should be aware of?Has anyone bought anything like this from eBay/Amazon?
Suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Anything will work, but your best bet is the ones that IBM uses in their thinkpads as they will have more features enabled ie. the little wireless light on the notebook will work and some of the power savings features will work as well. Your R40 should have a place in the back to fit a mini-card internally and use the built-in antenna.Look at the Intel 2100 or 2200 or IBM's own mini-card. You can go to the IBM support page for your model and see what they have in the accessories section. I really like the Intel 2200 and it's the one I would recommend, but you may find a better price on it at a place besides IBM.
good luck
