This is a WiFi Adapter that is installed in a Mini-PCI Express slot

=== Features ===
* Chipset: Atheros AR5008
* Integrated Mac Processor and Radio Chip: Atheros, unknown model
* IEEE Standards: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n (draft)

=== Linux WiFi driver ===
There's now (04.04.07) added [http://madwifi.org/wiki/news/20070328/experimental-support-for-ar5008-802-11n experimental support] for the AR5008 chipset to a new branch in MadWifi. I have compiled this driver successfully, but it's still at an experimental stage, so no promises are given. [[How_to_checkout_and_install_madwifi_experimental_driver_for_ar5008 | Howto]]

There is an old ticket for this card at [http://madwifi.org/ticket/1001 madwifi, #1001].

There is an new ticket for this card at [http://madwifi.org/ticket/1243 madwifi-branch, #1243].

To install this driver, just checkout the branch madwifi-hal-0.9.30.13.

mkdir /tmp/madwifi
cd /tmp/madwifi
svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/branches/madwifi-hal-0.9.30.13/
cd madwifi-hal-0.9.30.13/
make
make install
*choose [r]
reboot

News fron the madwifi-branch:

* milestone changed from version 0.9.x - progressive release candidate phase to version 0.9.4.
FYI: the madwifi-hal-0.9.30.13 branch has been merged to trunk
(and the branch has been removed). If you don't want to wait until the next release (v0.9.4),
you could go with a snapshot or checkout from trunk - just make sure that your code is >= r2360.

Until the madwifi driver stabilizes you might want to get the [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-66449 Windows driver] from Lenovo's support site and use a recent version of [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482&package_id=99148 ndiswrapper (>= 1.29)]. I've compiled a [[How_to_install_ndiswrapper_for_the_ThinkPad_11a/b/g/n_Wireless_LAN_Mini_Express_Adapter | Howto]] for this card.

=== Hardware switch ===

Some ThinkPads have a hardware switch that must be in the '''on''' position for the radio to work, regardless of driver state:
