Exhange IBM ThinkPad T60 X60 R60 Z60E 3945ABG 2 39T5578
ThinkPad X60 carried Intel 3945ABG wireless network card. But we'd like to changed it into ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter. FRU 39T5578--made by atheros, using AR5006EX chipset. Stronger wireless ability than 3945ABG., which could work on T60 X60/S R60 Z60T Z61
PDF manual and installation and removal links could be find at wireless4laptop.com
We took x60 for example
