Wouldn't it be possible to swap the IBM a/b/g one for the Intel
WLAN ? I'm about to buy a T41p and I would really like as much as
possible to have open source drivers.

I guess its only a matter of replacing a mini-pci card, no ?
In that case, I can try to ask the supplier to swap the mini pci
cards ?
