If I use the no-1802 I can use ANY mini PCI wireless card?
I am debating in wether getting the INTEL WM3B2915ABGNAX abg card or the INTEL WM3B2200BGMWWB2 bg card.
Will any of these work?
Will an Atheros abg?
How can I switch them on/off?

In theory yes but remember that the no-1802 patch can be a dangerous process.
Do you know what you will be accessing with it? A lot of people want abg cause it sounds the best but i have never really met anyone what uses 802.11a, 802.11g is obviously useful for the future but most hotspots etc are still 802.11b. The only option for wanting a specific card other than that would be if you require specific protocols for work on something.
I run the Intel 2100 802.11b card and i have no intention of upgrading even though my router is 802.11g capable - its much faster than my broadband connection and transfer to my xbox speeds are adequate for me. At work i only use occasionally in meetings for email /web access etc so thats not an issue and all the hotels i stay at etc are just 802.11b.
Its just worth considering before putting yourself through any hassle only to end up using the b standard anyway
Fn&f5 should work for any of the IBM cards with the right drivers.
