The card came built into the laptop. IBM have the unfortunate habit of
sticking an "allow list" into the BIOS (have a look at
http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/wifi-card-pci-ids.html) for
details. There don't seem to be any fully GPL'd drivers for 802.11g
cards anyway - the Atheros seems to be as close as you get.
