The Mini-PCI 802.11b/g AR5004? I purchased the 802.11a/b/g AR5004:5213+5112. I have not been able to test the 802.11a... but b/g work just fine. For whatever reason (someone may be able to answer) the card is detected as 5212a/b/g by ath. Works fine so I'm happy. ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xfafe0000-0xfafeffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2 ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 3.6 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps The prices I was quoted when I purchased: Cost for the modules are: Part Number Description Qty Price T60H835.00 802.11a/b/g Mini - PCI Module 1 - 9 pcs $75.00 (Atheros:AR5213+AR5112) 40 pcs $55.00 T60H786.00 802.11b/g Mini - PCI Module 1 - 9 pcs $65.00 (Atheros:AR5213+AR2112) 40 pcs $45.00 They (Chris Bartlett) were nice enough to give me the 40pc price for a single. DO NOTE: They told me they do not do returns... also.. there was no packing. They reached into a closed with thousands of them... wrapped the miniPCI in bubble wrap and handed it to me. So there may be no docs/support or anything. They apparently sell to OEM. I didn't need anything but the card... so it didn't bother me.
