[ltp] INTEL PRO 2200BG 802.11 b/g wireless LAN mini-PCI card

[René Castberg]

I have a Intel 2915a/b/g in my thinkpad, it works well.
I had to apply a cmos hack before i could install it otherwise my t40p
wouldn't boot.

After running this, it changed some bit in the nvram it works great.
The drivers are running reliably although some features like monitor
mode aren't working yet.
