Yes, and replacing this card is a problem, because the wireless card
in many IBM Thinkpad Laptops have a custom firmware, and the cards ID
is listed in the laptops BIOS. It won't work with any card not listed
there. There are ways to either flash the cards firmware or the BIOS
list, but I don't think that it's worth it.
