I have an old IBM Thinkpad T40 that I loaded 17.3 x32 on. I believe the wireless cards is an Atheros AR5211 chipset.
The odd behaviour I am running into is that I can connected to wifi points using wireless N protocol but not the same router using Wireless G. So atleast I have part of the equation working. I didn;t event hink this old wireless card could do that but I confirmed that it was connecting correctly.
What can I do to get it to workwith Wireless G since that is what the user will most likely see.
Thanks in advance

Disregard, i figured out what the problem was.
this older than I thought laptop has only a wireless-B capable network card and I turned that protocol off at the router. could still see the router but could not connect get an ip address.
