swapping wifi cards in X60s

#1 Post by rek » Tue Apr 17, 2007 9:16 pm

I have an X60s with the Intel 3945ABG mini-PCIE wireless card.

I've also got a Toshiba Satellite here that has an Atheros a/b/g mini-PCIE card.

Will the Toshiba's Atheros card work in the X60s, or will I run up against the 'unauthorised wireless card' error message? When I swapped wireless cards in my X31, I had to do a BIOS patch to stop this.

I really don't believe it will work, because ibm likes is propietary and likes to have control. :roll:
