*NEW* IBM ThinkPad MINI PCI 802.11b/g WIRELESS LAN CARD

The IBM part number is 73P2505 on box, and 93P3475 on adapter (IBM uses more than one part number for this adapter)!

Brand new in sealed box. This is the IBM B/G adapter based on the Atheros chipset NOT the Intel 2200. This is the OEM adapter in some models and is an option for CTO and customized ThinkPads.

i can't seem to find any information on the card... and am not sure if it has linux drivers available...

Please help quickly! other people are starting to want the card

Atheros chipset has a driver of its own for linux. Search under "madwifi". Not all are supported, if you get a "HAL error 13" try ndiswrapper.
