Linux WiFi driver

There's no support by Madwifi yet (as of Jan 25, 2007). This card is tracked by madwifi ticket #1001.

In the meantime, get the windows driver from Lenovo's support site and use a recent version of ndiswrapper (>= 1.29). I've compiled a Howto for this card.

Hardware switch

Some ThinkPads have a hardware switch that must be in the on position for the radio to work, regardless of driver state:

(ThinkPad R60 radio switch in the ON position)

ThinkPads this card may be found in

  • T60 Series
  • Z61 Series
  • X60 Series
  • maybe others too, please post
