    short: linux driver on realtek website, is model 8192se, works on 9.04x64 (my machine)
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...peID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8192SE

    long:

    For those of you with the thinkpad bgn wireless card made by realtek instead of atheros, realtek released a pretty good driver march 11.

    I started a thread in the linux section with where to get it and instructions on compiling the make file for anyone unfamiliar with the procedure
