    While using the N protocol my T60 would disconnect all the time using the latest drive off Lenovo, driver ending in .94. It would only do this on N and it would piss me off.

    Lenovo doesn't allow you to get older drivers I had .38 before but I formatted and couldn't find it

    A search revealed a newer driver at Laptopvideo2go. Go get the .107 version and get the latest from Lenovo.

    Extract both to seperate directories. Take the open the .INF file from the lenovo driver and change the version number to .107 then copy and paste the INF to the LV2G driver folder.

    Start>run> services.msc. Stop the Atheros Service and the Access connection service as well as turn off the radio button. If you don't do this your system will BSOD when updating the driver.
    Go to Dev mgmr and update the driver.

    Restart and viola you shouldn't have anymore disconnects using N band. I noticed that this driver also keeps a 300mbs better than the lenovo driver where it's a 50/50 for 130mbs or 300mbs.
