I have IBM Thinkpad T42 (2753-5TU) which had no problem with VGA output when I gave a presentation or two. The included 802.11bg card, Intel 2200BG, requires ndis, with which I was having problem in terms of WPA & DHCP. BTW, according to others' postings IBM [abg] card would be a better substitute. Currently, I use "Belkin My Essentials Wireless G" card with ath driver without any problems.
