IBm thinkpad wireless question

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi, I have an IBM thinkpad R40 Celeron (model# 2681 CTO) that I want to add
to my home wireless network. It's wireless upgradable ready (the antenna
wires are already installed and there is a mini pci slot) I've been looking
at the IBM 31P9107 as it supports 802.11a/b/g. In trying to determine
weather this card is compatable with my system I found the following
information on the IBM USA site:

On this page,
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/ [...] MIGR-52623
the information shows a compatability with the ThinkPad R40 Celeron and P4
2681.

but on this page,
http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/ [...] &storeId=1
the list of compatable laptops does not include the ThinkPad R40 Celeron and
P4 2681.

Anyone know which is true?
Thanks,
Tracy

The best thing to do is call IBM Tech Support - they will be able to
tell you positively. IBM's Tech Support is excellent (I have a Thinkpad
X31).
