Upon my return from travel I am attempting to set up the wireless connections with my T61p (6459-CTO). The basic installation of eCS 2.0 RC6a  was straight-forward, except for the wireless part: either I did not load the proper drivers or did something else wrong and need help now.

I think Mark told me that the T6x use the Intel 3945 ABG mini card (if that is the right word to use here). There are , however two different choices in the GenMac wrapper, namely
   Intel 3945 a/b/g (8086:4227) and
   Intel 3945 a/b/g (8086:xxxx) (with another number xxxx which I forgot).

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. In both cases I get a message that no driver was found.
I mention that on the backside of the thinkpad a label says that the
   (23S) 802.11 A/G/N
is built in; a MAC address is also given there, which I did not know how to use. Is that possibly a card different from the cards found in other T6x?

This explains why the 3945 driver didn't work for you; you have a 4965.

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 <sigh>).
