hi jeza
from past experience mate just check the type of pcmcia card the thinkpad uses as there are two types
the newer type used today are 32bit pcmcia cards,but older laptops like th thinkpads and compaq amarda,s use 16bit pcmcia cards
this is probally the reason the thinkpad dosent seem to owrk,i had the same problem and spent hours trying to find a solution but to no avail
there are 16bit pcmcia wireless network cards but they are very rare,the best place to look is ebay
have a look at these links i have found
1>http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ADVENT-WIRELESS-MO…
2>http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/802-11g-PCMCIA-WIR… one is backwards compatible)
3>bingo…this is the baby>http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Quick-WIRELESS-WIFI… 98SE/ME/2000/XP/Vista
PC card lot (this card fits both “16bit/5V” and “32bit/3.3V” slot)
hope this helps,any problems let me know
excellent luck jeza !
You will need the drivers for WindowsSE
wdw
does it say it will work on 98? then if it does then yes im pretty shure these computers have 2 pcmcia slots
