Hi all,

Looks to have some people who's got thinkpad T series.

I've got a T30 (2366-85G).
I've got a cisco aironet 350 _mini-pci_ wifi card on it.
'an' driver look to works for pci, isa, pcmcia but it doesn't work for
mini-pci.

I've take a look on if_an_pci.c but i don't really understand what i've
to do for it works.

Does someone got the same card ?
If anyone got an idea about the method to resolv this little problem...

Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day.
