Is that possibly a card different from the cards found in other T6x? The best way I know to determine what hardware you have [for all PCI devices] is to search Hobbes for: pci104vka The last time I looked this would do it: >http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php?sh=1&button=Search&key=pci104vka&stype=all&sort=type_name&dir=%2Fpub%2Fos2 After downloading and expanding the package, get the current device list from: >http://members.datafast.net.au/dft0802/downloads/pcidevs.txt and store it in place of the one that comes with the package. Run: PCI.EXE > YourTPadDevs.Txt to get the list of your devices into a text file. Use your favorite editor to do a find on the word 'Wireless'. In my case, on a T60, the first three lines of the entry shows: > Bus 3 (PCI Express), Device Number 0, Device Function 0 > Vendor 8086h Intel Corporation > Device 4227h PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection So, my device is (8086:4227), taken from Vendor:Device. YMMV... Good luck... Carl
