There are Linux issues with Atheros wireless drivers?  That's bad news,
considering Atheros is pretty much the only "authorized" mini-PCI
wireless chipset many IBM Thinkpads will allow booting with...   :p

(Without a BIOS patch, anyway.  Apparently *SOME* Intel ipw2100 cards
*may* work in *some* Thinkpads.  I have two Thinkpads here that need
working wireless cards, and no Atheros cards to try.)
