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.
