Let's say that the wifi card from mt t61 fits my x200 (I don't know yet): The card works with Trisquel on the t61, but would the white/black list be different between the two machines?

You basically need to find out if the two cards have the same interface - if both cards are, say, minipci-e then AFIK there should be no problems at all. If computer A has a minipci slot, then you want be able to insert the minipci-e taken from computer B in there.. You can use an extension
