    So in my company's infinate wisdom, they "saved a buck" and bought 100 Lenovo R500's w/o wireless cards, and 100 miniPCI cards that are "unauthorized wireless cards".

    Read that as "Error 1802 F'd"

    I'm looking to the community to see what cards are compatible so I can bail out my bosses...

    Intel 5100 and 5300 are compatible with the R500.
