I had an R51e and now a x31, which both shipped with iwi driven cards,
and they *suck*! Even my friends using linux and windows hate them.

Also you have to do the firmware dance.

I have a ral, which seems to work well as a client, but not in hostap
mode so well. Remember if you do want to change the wifi card in a
thinkpad, use tpwireless to unlock the bios check.

Thanks
