mattiL Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi I just replaced the internal Atheros 5211 MiniPCI card with a dirt cheap Dell DW1350 MiniPCI card. After running a very small program (from bootable CD) called no-1802 to turn of IBM's checking of acceptable, original, hardware, the card works great, it's being detected as an Apple Airport. And it works great, no more AR5211 or DWL-G122 !! I'm happy :D :D :D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117450-dell-dw1350-wifi-on-thinkpad-t40p-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it works great, no more AR5211 or DWL-G122 !! I'm happy I did a similar thing with a Dell Truemobile 1450 in my ThinkPad T41. Unfortunately, I had to give up on the T41. Just couldn't get it to work nicely enough. There was a long pause on startup (which I think I could have fixed), but sleep would never work, and my attempts to get the power management bundle install failed. How's your T40p working out?

mattiL Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 No problem with startup, normal speed. And I have the power management bundle installed, but with an extra kext from www.superhai.com (acpibattery.kext) to get the battery indicator working. Sleep does not work, but I don't use it anyways (probably because it doesn't work ) Now the one thing I wish for is HW acceleration for graphics (QE/CI), and perhaps proper SpeedStep.
