How can I install a wireless mini PCI combo card on IBM Thinkpad A30? I can not find the "MAIN" and the "AUX" cables under the mini PCI expansion slot door. Is there anyone who can help me? Thanks.

romey, best to do is to disassemble the laptop and make sure that it has the antenna assembly installed. That is where those wire come from. Use these guides to work on your laptop. The part number for the assembly (reference marker 4) is 27L0684
Hope this helps, good luck.

It has Wireless-N and WPA2. It will definitely work with Vista, and probably with Windows 7. Here is the information about this card:
