Things worked out after all. I'm replying here from my seconf machine - thinkpad 600x with 391Mb of RAM. The wireless card worked right away to my surprise. From other threads it seems to be a problem at times. Only thing is the card doesn't light up like it did under XP, but it works.
I'm upping the RAM to 512 on both machines. Thanks.
