I have ibm t32 with the Linux Ubuntu 8.10 OS, I need the information on how to get this piece working like a champ. Any other advice with this laptop would be tight.

What wifi card does this ibm t32 have? If you execute lspci in a terminal and give us a shout-out of the info we might be able to give you the 411.

Thanks for getting at me quickly it tells me this: 02:08.0 Network controller AIRONET Wireless Communications Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b I hope that's the info you need.

I don't find any t32 model thinkpad. Could you have meant t30?
I found this on the thinkwiki:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Cisco_...reless_802.11b
It says the driver is in the kernel. The mpi350 driver. Do an lsmod and see if the mpi350 is listed. If it isn't modprobe mpi350 will activate it.
Verify you thinkpad model number for me so we can be sure we are talking about the same card.
