If someone can confirm one of the following FRU's, it might be helpful:

91P7661
12P3657
26P8092
26P8160

Note that these are all listed as Mini-PCI 802.11b/v.92 modem combo 
cards for the T23.

Yes, and 802.11b is not going away anytime soon. Most Palm and PocketPC 
(Windows CE) devices with Wi-Fi are using 802.11b (in fact, I'm not 
aware of an 802.11g SDIO card).

Yep, because many (Windows users?) people think that the added speed 
(no, I know there's no "speed" difference, merely bandwidth...electrons 
all travel at the same speed) will increase their we browsing 
performance, even when their overburdened cable connections are down to 
800Kbps. It's really funny, actually...
