Q : Which Mini PCI Combo Modem / Ethernet on IBM thinkpad ..

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I have an A20m purchased on june 2001.
Tonight i tried to activate my ethernet port but didn't succeed; In fact it
seems that my mini PCI card is only connected through a samll 2 leads
connector.
Another one beneath whichis larger is not plugged in.

Does it mean that this mini PCI card has only the modem function ?

Inducatins on that card : Ambit J07-017-C.02 Rev 3

Thanks in advance

Sounds like your A20m came with only the modem installed, which is the way
most of them were shipped from the factory.

What's your model number?

The card you want for combination Modem/NIC operation is the Intel mini-PCI
combo card, widely available on eBay for under $20.
