Oh stink, I'm apparently on crack.  NEVERMIND!  That whole bit about
wireless cards on the T30 was actually the wireless card list for the T40.
Sorry, I've had so many questions about wireless on the T40 lately I just
go into autopilot.  Pay no attention to the person behind the curtain.

So, for the _T30_ the wireless options that I have on record are:

*the lovely High Rate wireless card mentioned above, based off of the prism
2.5 chipset and well-supported under Linux, with either the orinoco_pci
driver or the hostap driver from http://hostap.epitest.fi/

*Cicso 802.11b wireless card, almost the same as in the T40, driver
available from Cisco's website.

There are at least two versions of each card for the T30, an older one for
the first rev, and the newer one for the refresh, however I believe the
chipset inside the card is the same, so the drivers should be the same.

Please excuse the mistake and insert standard IBM (there's no way this girl
speaks for us) disclaimer here.
