    Hi,

    I have a Dell Inspiron notebook e1405 which supports the newer mini pci-e type of cards.

    I wanted to upgrade the origianl Dell part to a super fast Atheros chip (108mbps)

    IBM Thinkpad's (LENOVO) use these cards. I ordered one through Ebay and I got it today.

    After I installed the card, windows recognizes it, but I cannot find the right driver.

    Gigabyte sells a card based on the same Athero's chipset so I tried their driver and that didn't work.

    I tried to downloading the driver from Lenovo (IBM)

    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-52527

    But this didn't work either.

    Here is the information printed on the card itself:

    Atheros AR5BXB6
    Ambit Microsystems (Shanghai) Ltd.

    CMII ID: 2005AJ1346

    N14608

    Z546 IC: 4104A-AR5BXB6

    EC N0: A41598 FRU PN 39T5578

    Made in china 11s39t5569z1zbdu5bx9du

    t60h921.05 LF
    B200005553-01

    Please help me

    Thanks you in advance!
