How do I determine what wireless card I have in my laptop?

I am currently trying to get my Atheros wifi card in my Thinkpad working, and want to make sure I have the right hardware ID correct.

 

Right now, I think I am working with an Atheros 168c:1014

 

But, since when I follow the instructions that everyone else seems to say work, I have issues, I thought I would check. Currently what is happening is OSX finds the card as an airport card, but I am unable to turn it on. If I click on the "turn on airport" button, it doesn't do anything.

 

This is info from Vista:

 

In device Manager, it lists it as the following:

 

11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter

 

Under Device Hardware ID's, it says the following:

 

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014&SUBSYS_058A1014&REV_01

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014&SUBSYS_058A1014

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014&CC_020000

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014&CC_0200

 

 

Under Compatible ID's, it has the following

 

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014&REV_01

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_1014

PCI\VEN_168C&CC_020000

PCI\VEN_168C&CC_0200

PCI\VEN_168C

PCI\CC_020000&DT_1

PCI\CC_020000

PCI\CC_0200&DT_1

PCI\CC_0200

 

 

So, can someone tell me what specific hardware ID I should be doing searches for on these forums and google to try and get this card to actually work?

 

Thanks
