I have replaced the mini-card added by IBM to the
I/O board to make it wireless as it had ceased to
function. The replacement card from Taiwan worked
very well for several months and quit. It shows a substantial number of packets sent but none received. I have not changed the WEP password. I
bought a pc-card (Netgear) and downloaded the latest driver. It gives me the same result as the mini-card - no receive packets. This T30 mother board has had heat problems with a memory slot and the built-in mouse - it has a pad which works well.

You keep replacing the card and they stop working after a few months, call IBM/Lenovo to see about fixing the bigger issue. Sounds like the laptop is burining up wireless NIC. Could be too much power or too much heat.

But call IBM, especially if its still under warranty.
