NOTE!

Only the IBM Parts will work, any other parts will give an 1802 error on Post because the sub-vendor PCI ID is different, see Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card for more details

NOTE!

Part numbers above will not work with ThinkPad models earlier than the 61 (T61, X61) series, even if the ThinkPad supports Mini-PCI Express. A 42T0865 card was tested in a T60, and resulted in an 1802 POST error.
