does anyone know about any software to fix the 1802 problem on an thinkpad r32 please ive tried the no 1802 software but it isnt working . allen

Welcome to the forum!

The issue of "no-1802" not working on R32 machines has been reported by several members here...with no fix in sight.

What card are you trying to use/enable?

Sent patched BIOS to OP, card reported to work without any side effects.

Sorry to kick up this old thread, but seeing that there is a solution offered to the same problem I'm facing, i thought it would be worth a try.

I currently have a almost new R32 (has been catching dust in our storage as spare laptop), and wanted to install a 2200BG Wireless card. Upon booting i was faced with the 1802 error. I did much reading, searched google and found several solutions. The most common is the no-1802 ISO. but that did not work on the IBM R32.

I'm hoping the original poster or zender are still active here and can provide me with a solution to get my wireless card accepted by the R32 and make my daughter a happy girl with a wireless enabled laptop.

Thanks in advance.

i THINK that zender has taken his bios to greener climes.. err, well, to a dedicated web site someplace..
others might know more..

welcome to the forum..

Check your PM (new messages at the top of each web page).

If you could see me now... I'm smiling ear to ear!

I just 'altered' the IBM R32 and afterwards inserted the Intel 2200BG. I only needed to install the drivers and now i'm good to go. My R32 is running on wireless now. Did i mention I'm smiling my teeth out? One little lady is going to be happy tonight watching Nick JR streams on her new laptop.

Thank you, RealBlackStuff and awesome community.
