Hi

 

As everybody else how has a Thinkpad with the Intel WIFI, I can't get it to work with OS X and WEP. So now I'm looking for a good solution - a new WIFI card.

 

So here is my questions:

1) Does the Mini-PCI Wireless Card - Broadcom 802.11g (http://www.machinaelectronics.com/store/buypart/BCM4306) fit in my IBM ThinkPad T42?

2) Will OS X recognise the card?

3) Can I use WEP with the card under OS X

I have now testet the setup and it works perfect!!!

 

Before you insert the new card you have to hack/fix the bios so you don't get the:

"1802 - Unauthorized network card is plugged in. Power off and remove the miniPCI network card"

 

Here you can read about the 1802 fix and download what you need:

So if you are done playing with your intelcard and just want something that works, pay the 14 dollars and everything will work perfect :)
