[ltp] Mini-PCI 802.11b on R40?

[Steve K]

I've been using the madwifi driver with my Mini-PCI IBM card (that 
shipped with the t40p) for a while now with no major problems.  Kismet 
works with it as well.  It isn't totally open source, but it works:

Use the CVS source as the tarball hasn't been updated in a while.

However, if I were buying something new, I'd probably look for a 
tri-mode Mini-PCI card, but I don't know much about them.  This one 
seems to be tri-mode and uses the Atheros chipset (that is what is in 
the IBM card):

But i have no idea if it would work on the thinkpads.
