I don't know about the T series, but a 56 watt adapter does NOT work
properly with my A30p which has two hard drives in it. The display
brightness jumps up and down--maybe the adapter is cutting in and out or
something.

I don't think any of the T23's come with Cisco wireless, but you can replace
the standard ActionTec mini-PCI wireless with a Cisco card--*if* you've
gotten a model that has wireless. The models that don't have wireless
already also don't have antennas, so you can't add a mini-PCI wireless card.
There are Cisco mini-PCI wireless cards available for $59 from eBay user
psc2001. I put one of these in my A30p and it works fine.
Note that standard ActionTec mini-PCI wireless card also has the modem on
it, so if you replace it with a Cisco card you lose the built-in modem. On
an A series machine, there is a CDC socket free that could take a modem card
if one could be found, but a T series has only a single CDC socket which is
already filled with the 10/100 Ethernet card.
