Hi,

The wifi HCL page[1] has:
> Any of the chipsets listed at
> http://h-node.org/wifi/catalogue/en/1/1/undef/undef/yes? 

That list includes many software but not hardware compatible cards.

A user may think you referred to the cards instead and buy the wrong
one.

Example: the user buys a card for a PCI bus that the laptop doesn't
have like:
* older mini-pci
* express cards(present on T60 but not X60)
* desktop PCI cards:
  Example: The user didn't look at the card physically.
  For instance if he buys online(and there is no good picture) or ask
  someone to buy it for him.

The user probably didn't open the laptop yet before buying the wifi
card.
