But does tpwireless work on recent ThinkPads? According to the list of successful BIOS modifications at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_unauthorized_MiniPCI_network_card#Successful_BIOS_Modifications this has only worked for the X40's (or T42's or R51's) and earlier models. The one X60 that they tried was bricked and the modifications failed for the W500 they tried.
