The IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II has a newer Atheros chipset, so I would go for that.

That would be the $100 one right? Both are IBM

Thanks

Will it support the wireless LED on my thinkpad? Is it Wi-Fi certified and all that good stuff?

No, the cheaper one is actually the newer one...Don't know why it's cheaper, but it is. I'm considering it, but I'd like to hear from more people who have switched from the older one to the newer one. On the A band, I keep dropping connection.

edit: [censored] I'm slow!

It WILL support the wireless LED.... I have the old one, and even that one never drops connections (for me). The other difference I noticed is the new one does not support extended channels. If you don't know what those are, don't worry about them, as they are illegal to use in the US.
