I'm confused about this... IBM lists a tri-mode card on their website.

http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?lang=en_US&catalogId=-840&langId=-1&prmenbr=1&cntrfnbr=1&partNumber=31P9701&storeId=1&cntry=840

(Part # 31P9701, in case the link doesn't work.)

Is that card not the same one that people are using the MadWIFI driver
with? (I assume the 31P9701 has the Atheros chipset, since the other two
cards listed as accessories for the T40 are Intel and Cisco cards.)

Or is the IBM website wrong in calling it an a/b/g card? Or maybe the
driver doesn't support g on the card IBM sells?
