    Been trying to find this card on ebay etc. Does anyone remember the full product name? It seems to be a very rare breed of Atheros based WiFI N card available lol. Anyway any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Lenovo simply calls it the ThinkPad 11abgn WiFI wireless LAN mini-PCIe, however, I believe the actual card is the Atheros AR5008E-3NX... which apparently is based on their XSPAN technology...

    It's a bit confusing.

    <strike> Edit: Hey, I just found one on eBay for you... it's $40.</strike>
