Carl, that's fine with me (I can't stand Yahoo, either, and recently 
they've been giving my mail server fits trying to post to them).  I 
never intended to moderate this list, but there has been a heck of a lot 
of OT chatter of late, and I know that some folks do prefer lists to 
remain somewhat closer to the cuff. My post was meant as a reminder that 
this is a wireless list, after all, and we should at least try to 
discuss wireless topics.

FWIW, the T60's I've seen have an Intel 3945 tri-mode card, which is 
essentially the same chip as the 2945 mPCI but a different form factor 
(the 3945 is not mPCI, but rather Mini-PCI Express.

Our friends at Intel have some information available:

http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/resources/doc_library/tech_brief/310796.htm

Here's a little bit about the Atheros AR5006EX-based card which is 
supposedly also available:

I don't have PCI ID strings handy for either of these, nor do I know if 
the PCI Express bus is even accessible under OS/2, as I simply haven't 
had enough time to play with an installation on a T60 as yet.
