Subject: Regarding the WPA with Intersil Prism -based cards
From: "Jussi Huuskonen" <jussi at tanzformers dot net>

I stumbled upon your site when looking for a way to get WPA working with
my IBM Thinkpad X30 that had a "High Rate Wireless Mini-PCI with Modem-II"
wireless NIC. These apparently came installed in some IBM Thinkpads
(again, apparently only in some of the T30's and X30's). Unfortunately the
latest firmware this card can take is 1.49 and it was already on the card
and the installing the Intersil 3.0105 driver linked to on your site
resulted in a failure of epic proportions (probably because the card holds
the modem hardware as well), so your site wasn't actually of much direct
help.

Later today I wandered over to Lenovo's website and found an actual driver
for Windows XP/2000 with a version number 3.04 for this particular NIC. I
don't know nor care how it does it or how to find out but the driver
actually enables WPA and WPA-PSK. This driver most likely works for this
particular card only, but it might be of help to some who wander over to
your site:

The mail link said you wanted to hear success and failure stories so
here's one with a litte of both. :)
