<br />
Atheros uses a confusing mix of chips to deliver different solution, which typically consist of two chips (newer single-chip solutions also exist).<br />
The first chip implements amongst others the PCI interface, and is what you see with lspci.<br><br />
The second chip implements the radio and can either be a single-band 2.4GHz, or a dual-band 2.4/5GHz radio<br><br />
In the case of the "IBM 11b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter", a single-band 2.4GHz radio was used, limiting you to 802.11b/g functionality.<br />
<br />
There is no way of detecting the Radio chip from lspci, other then making a guess based upon the sub-vendor ID.</div>24.44.128.24
