[ltp] T40 wlan-antenna?

[Pablo Vera]

But beware, not all miniPCI wifi cards are compatible with IBM.  The 
BIOS will lock out if an unauthorized card is inserted.

I have A T41 (and a R40 before this one) and I am using a card I bought 
in eBay from a Guy that sells IBM branded IntelPro 2200 cards.

Here is a link to the one I bought:
