Hi. Regarding this card (73P4301), it has been stated on IBM/Lenovo's parts sales page that it is indeed compatible with the Thinkpad X31 series (2672/73, 2884/85), so I would say that the X31 should be included in the last of machines that this card can be found in.


Depends on the point of view. Right now the list contains ThinkPad featuring the cards in their default configuration. If we would change it to a list of ThinkPads supporting the card, it would in fact be a loss of information, since virtuall any recent ThinkPad supports the card, which is true for many of the other cards as well. So there is less point in this information.

What we could do, however, is to include a second list of ThinkPads supporting the card.

Super A/G

Do SuperA/G modes work for anybody? I have MiniPCI atheros with T43, and a PCMCIA one. The PCMCIA doesn't seem to have problem with turbo, the MiniPCI one however does. Both are 5004/5112 chipsets.

This chipset definately should support Super A and Super G modes.

OK. I'm actively trying to find out more about this. Please, could you guys check, if turbo modes work for you, if you have Atheros? It is quite easy to tell, at driver load, madwifi display something like this,

wifi0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
wifi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
wifi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

if there are no turbo modes present. If there are turbo modes present, it also shows turbo rates, although only up to 54Mbps (they are actually double that). Also, it should be possible to change to turbo mode:

# iwpriv ath0 mode 3
# iwpriv ath0 turbo 1
# iwpriv ath0 get_turbo
ath0 get_turbo:1
