Hi Al,

   The findings and instructions are ONLY based on experiences with the 
Intel 2200BG based MINI-PCI Wifi cards. (including IBM, Toshiba, Dell 
and others), so may not apply to yours.

  Early T42's had the 2200BG card, later or US versions had a different 
card I believe. It may even be the same as fitted in the T43.

   If that 168C:1014 is the ABG card - there will be several people on 
this list happy top know that it works with GenMac - I presume you are 
referring to running it using Genmac on either eCS or OS/2 ??


Cheers/2
