    Does anyone know if, you can have WIFI (AGN), BlueTooth, Verizon/CDMA, and Wireless USB all configured on the laptop (T61 w/Xp Pro)? Would there be any conflicts (all being wireless) that would need to be considered...are there enough antenna's, do they all have their own? thanks

    As far as I know, on some laptops, you can use only one or a few at a time. More specifically, the Wifi and the CDMA usually share the same antenna, so unless Lenovo figured out how to make both of those share antenna, I don't think you can run both at the same time. I could be wrong. The same problem might occur with blue tooth, but again, I could be wrong.

    The Wireless USB should have separate port/config in the OS, so that should work with Wifi at the same time. But maybe someone else knows better.
