Nothing to do with TCPA: my laptop doesn't have one, and it objects to "foreign" wireless cards. Plain old BIOS is enough.
Fortunately IBM support the Cisco Airo 350 mini-pci card, and supply a (GPLed) driver. It isn't the greatest driver (no 2.5 port, seems flakey when doing anything with the admin tool, no wireless extension support), but it works enough to make wireless useful.
