[laptop-discuss] Cannot activate wireless radio on ThinkPad X40 2386 8EU

[Jack Zhang]

Can I ask for the model number of your thinkpad X40? 
Mine is 2386 8EU,   comes with IBM 802.11 b/g mini-PCI card (IBM labelled Cisco 
Aironet miniPCI)  - Atheros 5212 chipset.   No Bluetooth.
Thinkpad X40 has serveral models  - some equipped with IBM-labelled Intel 2100 
B mini PCI  or  Intel 2200 BG miniPCI   (firmware's sub-vendor ID is changed to 
IBM ID).
So ipw or iwi driver works with above miniPCI.
I think ipw and iwi drivers support "radio" option in wificondig and  dladm 
(Link Properties). But ath driver does not.
