Hello,

I did some research for the Thinkpad T60 because I want to
order one. The included wifi card (Intel 3945) is not (yet) supported
by FreeBSD.

But, one of the listed Thinkpad options is "ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter"
with partnumber 40Y7026. Searching the net i found an article ( http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=27043&sid=3e47ebfdf7d193b263bca866c5c7c9ed ) 
that's telling me that it's an Atheros AR5006EX with the AR5423
chipset.

Does anybody know if that card is by accident :) supported by the
ath(hal) driver? If is isn't, can i use this card with ndiswrapper?

Richard.
