T61: upgraded wifi from 4965agn to 5300agn

and works awesome.

I've had some wifi issues lately with my card as it was giving me bunch of errors in the event log /system - 5002 and 5005, and after trying couple of different versions drivers I ended up putting new wifi card. I didn't notice the issues that I was having earlier because my laptop was sitting wired most of the time.

anyways, as lenovo whitelists wifi cards that can be used for certain model laptop, I must say big Thanks to middleton for his hacked bios version that I'm using right now, giving me the chance to run Penryn CPU with no "thermal sensor error", using other wifi card, and enabling the full SATA 2 speeds (that I will try some day when I buy me a SSD).

I went with 5300 as this is the last card that can be found with full size of the mini PCI-e and has 3 antennas. For people that have 2 antennas only and want to upgrade wifi card without the effort of adding another antenna - look for 5100 card instead. Of if you insist for the last wifi cards that Intel has to offer then you'll have to use spacer to extend the card to full size so that you can secure it to the laptop chassis, as most new cards come in half size mini PCI-e

me is back to internet-ing second hour already without single disconnect, and where I am wifi networks are plenty (I see 15 ATM)
