This is what is in mine.  it is working nicely with Fedora 2.  Only
catch is that, unless the wired controller is "/sbin/ifocnfig eth0
down" it misbehaves, counts trillions of packets, and seems to trip
the driver for the wireless card.  But with the wired ethernet down it
has been working very nicely. 

Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Mobile) (rev 03)
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
