The *Intel* WiFi-NIC (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini
PCI Adapter) on my IBM Thinkpad X31 worked mostly out-of-the-box.  I
just needed to download the firmware and I was up. So did the SMC Ez
Connect PCMCIA card I used on my previos laptop (I think it was a
prism54 flavor), also once I snarfed the proper firmware for it.
