802.11ac ?

#1 Post by precip9 » Fri Jun 27, 2014 8:24 pm

Has anybody tried an 802.11ac card in a classic Thinkpad? They would, of course, require a hacked or Middleton BIOS.

Rummaging through eBay shows many cards with 2x2 diversity. Oddly, there are no 3x3, as is common with earlier a/b/g/n cards.
W500x3 with T9900, , T400 highnit 1280x800 with P9600, X61sx3, X61Tx3.

I don't think that there are any 3x3 AC cards currently available...

Someone did install one in a T60 if I'm not mistaken:

Personally, I'll wait for the whole thing to mature a bit more...
