	I reverted the page back to the last version before the a/b/g/n edits. Doesn't look like there was anything regarding the a/b/g card added after that point.

		+	== AR5212 Chipset ==
		+
		+	I added a note on the possible chipsets for this particular WLAN card. My system reports that it is using "Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)" as its WLAN. I have a newer (3 months old) T61, if it helps. If I am misreporting an existing chipset, please revert my change as needed.
		+
		+	Also, this isn't necessarily the proper place to be asking, but has anyone else noticed that this chip causes lock ups? I'm running Ubuntu 7.10, with madwifi as my driver through Envy. Sporadically (usually in periods of heavy use, although that might just be statistics), the system locks up 100% (does not respond to Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Ctrl-Alt-F1...), and the caps lock light flashes. A hard restart is the only way to get it going again. Odd, huh?
