X300 doesn't support X61's AR5418/5424, and X301 doesn't support X200's AR2425.

To use Atheros cards on said models, replace the original BIOS, or at least remove the whitelist restrictions.

What prices are X300 and X301 being sold for?
Are they really worth buying over a Minifree's Librebooted T400 or X200?
I admit I don't much about those machines, but the T400 is making me very happy ;)

Surely, they aren't worth buying at all. I purchased them just for testing purposes.

I have purchased the following legacy ThinkPad models: X30 X40 X41/t X60/t X61/t X300 X200/t X301 Z60t Z61t T43 T60 T61 T400/s T500 W500.

Crazy?
