Linksys EC1000 ExpressCard works 10.5.2 iAtkos2.0i T60P

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T60P that has the onboard intel 3945 wireless and 82573L wired; neither of which could I get to work (I wasn't ready to delve into the beta drivers) with iAtkos2.0i (10.5.2).

The T60P has an ExpressCard slot though so I figured I'd try out the Linksys EC1000 Gigabit ExpressCard Adapter. It turned out to have a Marvell 88E8053 chip on it (vendor:device [11ab:4362], rev19). After inserting the card and rebooting, en0 came up as that card, grabbing a dhcp address.

This looks like a great alternative for those having issues getting networking to work on the newer laptops for a ~$60 price tag.
