    Some of the driver matrix web links on Lenovo have not been updated
    for this new card at the moment.

    I had problem locating this driver until seeing this post on
    Lenovo user forum: posted on 6/5/09

    What you have is a brand new card for the Thinkpad systems. There was a little bit of a delay posting it, but it is on the web now.

    It is possible that some generic Realtek drivers may substitute, just as generic Atheros drivers were able to substitute in some cases for the ThinkPad a/b/g card. Editing Lenovo's .INF file for their drivers (which I did a week ago prior to ordering my T400) shows they are using a Realtek chipset on their BGN card.
