Thinkpad 760ED and MN-720

Win98 SE detects the hardware but I can't seem to get the
adapter to work. The laptop is supposed to support a 32
bit card bus.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get this to
work?

that was the first thinkpad to supposedly support cardbus and it was
very flaky. if you do a google search for

thinkpad 760ED +cardbus

you will retrieve a listing of problems with cardbus. maybe you can
find a BIOS update that gives better support. however your best bet is
to talk to IBM about this one.

I can't seem to find new drivers. Do I need to exchange
this network adapter to a "B" adapter? I'm very confused
because the OS recognizes the card, there are even faint
lights on the card on both the power and wireless leds.
Help!! I've tried everything and I'm at a loss.
Thanks.

it is likely a 16 bit "b" adapter will work just fine. it may be
possible to get the card you have going now on this machine, but given
what i've read about that model thinkpad and cardbus, the only
recommendation i have is to ask IBM support.
