hi,

I have the newest INTEL 2915 a/b/g in my T40 (works on older laptops
only with the 1802.c hack). The card works like a charm with linux. I
can use wpa with wpa_supplicant. Very nice card and great reception.
+10% to +15% compared to my old pcmcia netgear card.

The only disadvantage is, that I can't use monitor mode, but this is an
intel firmware problem. It is on their todo list, but still not done :(

Building an operation system without source code,
is like buying a  self assemble space shuttle without
instructions.
