I also have a T60 and did try to install another card into it (not so
much because it didn't work, but because it did work better than the
card in my wife's machine, so I wanted to swap them because I know
better than my wife how to work around the other card's
limitations ;-). Unfortunately, it seems that noone has figured out yet
how to tweak the BIOS and the other workaround (use the second MiniPCIe
slot) is not an option because my T60 doesn't have a second MiniPCIe
slot (damn cheap bastards).
So as for finding the right card (which I haven't tried to do: I just
keep using the original card and bought a cheap (and better since it can
be an AP) Atheros card to put into the other machine):
I'd try various PC shops (the "dirtier" the better), since they may have
a stash of second hand (recovered from old/broken laptops) wifi cards.
E.g. I'd first try Dan's computer (not because I like it, but it's next
door, on St-Denis, between St-Joseph and Villeneuve). Go there with
your machine (ready to pry open) so you can try out the cards in-situ.
My guess is that they won't have too many "Atheros Mini-PCIe" cards to
start with, so you won't have to try too many of them.
