    Hello,

    Just order t60, but I'm confused what part is ordered for my wireless card:

    When you configure on lenovo website, the:
    ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wi-Fi wireless LAN Mini-PCIe US/EMEA/LA/ANZ

    says its part # is 40Y7026.
    This is what I chose. From my research, I believe this is the Atheros? Am I right?

    HOWEVER,

    on my order list the part # is
    41W1685 SBB 11ABGWIFI WL LAN USEULAANZ

    Did they give me another card? I can't find information about it. Is it older or newer? Is it Atheros?

    I've searched for hours and still haven't found the answer. Anyone?

    I could be wrong but I think the FRU # is 40Y7026. The order status screen does not show FRU #'s just internal part numbers that don't necessarily correlate to a specific manufacturer. After the machine has been built and you receive the serial number you can look up what parts were actually used to build the system on the Lenovo website.

    Yeah, your right, I'm probably just better off waiting to see what the machine will be built with. Then calling them, if it is not what was expected.
