Thinkpads Forum

well the subject saying it.

the card they have now there is : ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ [subtract $5.00]

is that Atheros ? and what the PCIe means ? is that PCI Express in the slot ? or it's internal but just PCIe ?

thanks Dan

Yes that's Atheros.

you can boot up Knoppix LiveCD and in the console type in that will give you info about many devices
if you want particular Atheros, type in

For the completeness of your post. The card is branded by lenovo for it's Thinkpads but the manufacturer and chipset is from Atheros. Mini-PCIe is the slot where it's installed internally. For more information on Mini-PCIe please see this.
