tk421 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I've done some searching on the forums and I've seen people post some successes with getting the onboard wireless cards to work with the IBM Thinkpad T42p. I have 10.4.6 (myzar) running on my thinkpad and everything works except my onboard wireless. I am using a Belkin 7010 for wireless right now. Everything else seems to be pretty smooth. Any recommendations on how to get the onboard card working (Intel 2200 BG).

tk421 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Any help? Anyone? I know there's been a lot of talk/issues with the Intel 2200, but I've seen like 3-4 posts on this forum from people who say it works...

Bruce Wang Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Any help? Anyone? I know there's been a lot of talk/issues with the Intel 2200, but I've seen like 3-4 posts on this forum from people who say it works... Well, I hacked my T40 BIOS, replaced 2100BG with an Atheros wireless and it was recongized as an Airport card. Works great too with WEP 128bit!

moseschrist Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 how exactly did you do that ? have you replaced the actual card or just the name ?

Bruce Wang Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 how exactly did you do that ?have you replaced the actual card or just the name ? Of course I replaced the actual card. Since IBM locks their wireless card in BIOS, it won't boot (Error 1802) after replacing with cards of other brands if BIOS is not hacked. More information/patch can be found on Google, just search "IBM 1802".

sconover Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I have 10.4.6 (myzar) running on my thinkpad and everything works except my onboard wireless. I am using a Belkin 7010 for wireless right now. Everything else seems to be pretty smooth. Can you tell me exactly the steps you went through (partitioning, vmware or not, etc)? I tried installing on a t43 about a month ago and couldn't get past the "still waiting for root device" problem.
