i should preface this by saying i'm a total OSX n00b. :)

 

i just installed kalyway 10.5.1 on my IBM T42, so far everything is working great except my wireless card.

 

i have a mini-pci atheros AR5004X, which is also a AR5213A (or so i'm told)

 

in OSX, there is no airport listed at all, so i obviously have a problem.

 

are there drivers or kext files that i could use/install to help me make this work?

 

or alternatively, is there a card that "just works" right after install that i could go pick up and avoid this whole hassle altogether?

I think you're out of luck with that Atheros card. There are surprisingly few wireless cards that actually work. It's a miniPCI card, right? The Dell TrueMobile 1350 works. It uses a Broadcom bcm4306 chip. And cheap on ebay.
