There is a BIOS patch available to disable "the dreaded 1802 error".
The version I have only works on T42p and A31p systems, but last time I checked the tool is being updated continously.
Its a DOS based program, but comes from the LINUX world.
BEWARE: The patch is a one way street. Meaning, you can not undo it.
So if it messes up our system ([un]likely???), you might have to send the motherboard in for service.

I needed to pick up a card for a client, so I bought four. Ergo, I have
three extras available if anyone would like one (or two or three). For
the lot of four, including shipping, I paid $55.32, which means that
each card ended up costing me $13.83. So,
that's the price, plus
applicable shipping (no additional handling; whatever these cost me plus
whatever the shipping cost is to you, is the final price).
Anyone interested? Be sure to scan the list for references to the
dreaded 1802 error on ThinkPads, and have a quick glance at
http://www.thinkwiki.org for some more info. Also, you'll need to have a
Wi-Fi ready notebook in order to make use of a Mini-PCI card, i.e., your
notebook must have antenna leads which terminate in the mPCI bay, and
you must not have another mPCI card already mounted in there (obviously).
I believe these cards to be pulls (one of them bears an "HP spares"
sticker, another is un-OEM-branded - simply Intel - and the other two
are Toshiba OEM units), but I will test them here before shipping, just
to make sure. They all bear manufacture dates between May and September,
2005.
Yes, the 2200 chipset is supported by the latest GenMAC beta
(1.7, or
1.07, depending upon how you read the versioning of GenMAC).
I'm currently out of Cisco 350's, and the Cisco mPCI cards I have are
*not* (yet) supported by GenMAC. That said, if there is sufficient
demand for more Cisco 350 PCMCIA cards, I'll do my best to scare up
another batch from somewhere. :-)
Cheers.
