Ken,

Thanks. What is the wifi you have on the laptop. If you can check, that
would be great. The choices they give are:

Sunay,

Use the Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (or the 62xx) with the 'iwp' driver. The iwp driver needs some updated integration work though that I'm working on.

    1.      ThinkPad b/g/n
    2.      [$0.00]
      Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000
    3.      [add $20.00]
      Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (2x2 AGN)
    4.      [add $40.00]
      Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (3x3 AGN)
    5.      [add $55.00]
      Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250

If you can check, that would be great.

Cheers,
Sunay
