=== Also known (in IBM literature) as.... ===
* 802.11a/b/g Ambit wireless Card
* 802.11a/b/g Bartlett Wireless Card
* ThinkPad 11a/b/g Mini PCI Adapter II

=== Additional features ===
The chipset itself supports Atheros eXtended Range (XR) technology, and Atheros [[Super A/G]] (Turbo) modes, but this functionality may be disabled.

=== Windows WiFi driver ===

A universal driver can be used. This can be downloaded at the following link: http://www.ekahau.com/products/client/drivers/atheros/
Ensure an installation diskette is saved first and then proceed to update the driver of the mini pci card through the device manager.

=== Linux WiFi driver ===
This is an Atheros chip and works with the [[Madwifi]] driver "out of the box". This card will be also detected by open-source [http://www.ath-driver.org ath-driver], but as of
now (end of January '06), it doesn't support actual wireless operations.

Make sure that your kernel supports "CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES", or you might get some message from the Atheros hal that it does not support all features.
