    I just finished reading the Atheros group buy threads and read that if you buy the Atheros card and try to install it on any Thinkpad, you will get a 1802 error code stating that some hardware has been changed without authorization.

    I was wondering, if you bought the ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter, will you get the same 1802 error code?

    Thinkwiki:
    * Chipset: Atheros AR5006EX
    * Integrated Mac Processor and Radio Chip: Atheros 5424
    * IEEE Standards: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g

    So I know it has the Atheros chipset.
