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 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.
ThinkPads this card may be found in
