Will this Mini-PCI wifi card work with my T42 2378EYU. It looks like the same one listed on IBM's web site.

Newegg has it for, what looks like, a decent price.

I'm not understanding all the talk about hacks to get non ibm wifi cards to work in thinkpads.

Thanks,

Basically No it will not work.
The BIOS will reject any wireless card that is not signed by IBM.
There are BIOS hacks out there that will allow it. But that is something I would not recommend.
