IBM has its own PCI id for Atheros cards and uses a list of acceptable IDs in BIOS, so they can force you to buy one from them. Unfortunately they are using the same id for AR5212 Mini PCI and AR5424 Mini PCI Express chips. Your card is probably Mini PCI-E based AR5424. Search for ah_pci_express in sys/dev/ic/ar5212.c rivo
