    I'm pretty sure my T60 has the inelPRO/wireles 3945ABG card, since that's what it says in my device manager and i have the 'centrino duo' sticker. However, I was googling all my processes and found acs.exe running, which apparently is an atheros utility.

    why?

    I have an antheros card and I've never seen acs.exe. You do not see driver in a process list.

    hmmm

    i know it's not a driver, but processlibrary.com says it's some sort of atheros utility. At any rate, if you've got an atheros card and don't have this running, then I guess I probably don't need it either.
