2:48 PM - Wireless

I just got a refurbished thinkpad and I'm working on getting wireless up.  Here are some helpful references:

The linksys WPC54GS version 2 is a Broadcom chipset so avoid it if possible.  I believe you must use an ndis wrapper with this card.  I've managed to get that working,, but using a native driver is certainly better.
