LSPCI output please help!

[Pete Rudge]

The following is my lspci output. I am trying to use the airport card out of my mac mini in my ThinkPad SL500. I have looked through IOPCIFamily for a way to include my vendor info but haven't found a solution. My issue is the card is not "seen" by OSX?? I have installed the airport card in the WWAN pci-e slot to get around the BIOS whitelist problem. Maybe that has something to do with it. The atheros card is not seen either though and it is plugged into the WLAN slot. Please help.
