Not *all* T61's or T61p's have a/b/g. My wife's current T61 has a/g/n (and is fully supported under GenMAC). >>Neither one seems to work for me.

The driver you need will either be: Intel 4965 a/g/n [8086:4229] Intel 4965 a/g/n [8086:4230] > 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 > Indeed, this will tell the tale for sure (and in case Intel has started using yet another PCI ID string ). -- Lewis --------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLE, CLP Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia http://www.2rosenthals.com ---------------------------------
