My wife wants to use my old P4 laptop in her office and I want it reasonably secure so I need to use WPA and I don't want no stinking windoze. Does this exist for eCS? Mark, It's a Thinkpad right? You could open it up and put in a mPCI card that has drivers, with antennae wires, opening the TP is not a big deal, only putting one wire under the LCD is an issue. You won't get the diversity, but you could lay out wires in opposite directions under the keyboard....the wires are only about $15 or less on ebay.... Stan, No way I am parting with my T42p, even for my wife. ;-) Its my previous laptop that my daughter had been using up until she got a MacBook Pro for Christmas. Its a P4 1.8Ghz Medion. More then good enough for surfing the web and maybe email which would be all that it will be used for. I just don't want her to have to deal with viruses, spyware and whatever else is plaguing the windoze world. It has no builtin wireless. Just a MiniPC winmodem.
