@Matt, @Juan

This page suggests you have to remove the base cover on the T440s to
access the wireless card:

To remove the base cover you need only unclip the external battery pack,
then unscrew 8 screws.  No messing with the motherboard or monitor.
Plus, the Intel card @Juan posted a link to sells for around $30, which
is comparable to any external USB interface.

I might try the same, as the drivers for Intel cards are quite mature
IIRC.
