[Bug 567016] Re: Wireless won't work on Lenovo Thinkpad T510

[Brian Candler]

All current Macbooks are x86. You can even boot them into Windows if you
buy a copy.

As for the mini PCI: Thinkpads do generally have very good hardware
maintenance manuals that you can download from the Lenovo support site.
You'll be able to check how easy it would be to open up and swap the
miniPCI, and you can pick up a new Atheros one for $10-$20.

[BTW, my very old Thinkpad X30 was locked to a particular wireless card
vendor: it wouldn't boot with a different one installed. The workaround
was to bootup without the card, run a utility to flip a bit in the CMOS,
and then reinstall the card. Hopefully they don't do that any more]
