    I have just upgraded the wifi minipci card in my T40 to a new Intel 2915 - it seems to work fine (had to use no-1802.com fix), but now the wifi light is alwas off :( . Even when the wifi card is on and working - does anyone have any idea what to do?

    if the card is working fine i wouldn't really worry about it. does the on/off switch still work? even so though as long as the card works.....

    Non IBM compatible cards will do that.

    ....well I have ended up using the Intel PROSet/Wireless Software 10.5.0.3 to controll the wifi card, I can turn it on/off from the software. The wifi card is working SUPER!
