I did some Googling, and it turns out that the IBM ThinkPad 600E's didn't come with built-in wireless NIC's. But they do have PCMCIA slots. I'm assuming here that your wireless NIC's are PCMCIA. We need to know which wireless chipset is in the NIC's that are installed in those machines. "lspci" should be helpful in this regard. Also, we need to know whether they're 802.11b or 802.11g cards. Virtually all 802.11b cards are supported in Linux 2.4. However, with 802.11g, I'd make sure I stayed with Ralink or Realtek only. Since their programming specs are open, those two chipset families tend to be very well supported by Free Software (unlike that Broadcom crap). --TP </body> </html>
