[ltp] Thinkpad wifi

[morpheus]

I have a T42p with the Atheros wifi chipset (part #31P9705).  I strongly
recommend this one over the Intel chipset, primarily because the Intel
set doesn't support 802.11g. I easily got the Atheros chipset to work
with Linux (FC2, 2.6 Kernel) using the madwifi drivers.  I've had no
problems in over three months using it.
