Hi,

I've found several pages that mention the whitelisting of Mini PCI cards 
on recent Thinkpads, but not one that goes into any great depth or 
detail. I've put a page up at 
http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/thinkpad/wireless.html that contains a 
set of PCI IDs that I've extracted from my X40's BIOS, along with a 
description of exactly what's going on and why IBM's doing it (and why 
that claim doesn't really seem to make sense...). Feedback including 
more working PCI IDs and the machines they're compatible with would be 
useful, since at the moment I'm limited to what I can check out here.

Thanks,
