    I'm planning on buying a new Thinkpad, Z series most likely, and am trying to decide between the 802.11n and 802.11g cards. I need to know the chipset manufacturer for the wireless 802.11n card. I'm using Linux, so I'm trying to get an Atheros card.

    If any 802.11n Thinkpad owners have tried the card with Linux, I'd appreciate that information as well.

    If the chipset is from a manufacturer known to work well with Linux, I'll buy the N card, otherwise, I'm going to stick with the G-Atheros card
