Someone told me wpi is the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and that
the driver is coming along nicely, but is "experimental".
If I could, I'd use the mini-PCI ath card from my T41, but that's not
an option. The x61s uses mini-PCIe.
The wifi options for the x61are listed below. With each option I've
listed
what I've found regarding support for that hardware.
1- ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ
no idea about this or if it's supported
2- Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [add $10.50 $3.90]
in 7.x and 8.x and is experimental
3- Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (supporting Centrino Pro)
not supported but under development: http://www.clearchain.com/
wiki/Wpi
So it seems option 2 is my only option.
Are you having any issues with the wifi?
