1 Hi,
2
3 which adapter is in your t42?
4 according to http://www.thinkwiki.org it could be one of:
5
6 IBM 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter
7 IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter
8 IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II
9 Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
10 Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Mini-PCI Adapter
11 Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Mini-PCI Adapter
12
13 in a t42.
14 i own and use a t41p with the ibm abg and it should work with the
15 athereos driver, which is in portage. i have some problems with
16 connecting though, but if you have a ibm wireless pci adapter then the
17 athereos driver should bring you forward i guess.
18
19 what exactly do you mean with:
20
21 "point me to the x86 graphical x86 installer"?
22
23 hope i could help you(at least a bit) so far and if you have further
24 questions, i'll try to help.

27 greetings,
