    Hello,

    I've got a ThinkPad T61p running Windows 7 Ultimate. It's a type: 6458 CTO.

    I've bought a Atheros AR5008 wireless card with a AR5BXB72 chipset to swap with the original wireless card to get some more speed on the wireless network. Installing the hardware was no problem, but I can't seem to find a driver the card will accept. I've tried downloading the drivers that are marked AR5008 and AR5BXB72 for Win7 but no success. Has anyone experienced any similar difficulties trying to swap cards like this? Anyone know of a driver it might accept?

    Thanks in advance,
    PKS
