I switched the 2100B in my T40 for an IBM a/b/g minipci.  The IBM trimode
is based on the Atheros chip and uses the MADWIFI drivers.  I used the
drivers from CVS and they work fairly well.

Check out 	sf.net/projects/madwifi

Re the 2200BG, I haven't heard of any drivers for it yet.  Are they the
same as the 2100B?
