Re: [Thinkpad] T23 WiFi upgrade

I'm getting skeptical that combo cards will be produced as IBM only used
them on their T23 and earlier models. The new Thinkpads don't have the
combo.

I have resigned myself to using 11b forever even though my router is 11g.
If they come out with a combo, I'll do the upgrade though.
