    Yes.. thanks for correcting.

    I purchased the 802.11a/b/g AR5004:5213+5112. I have not been able to
    test the 802.11a... but b/g work just fine. For whatever reason
    (someone may be able to answer) the card is detected as 5212a/b/g by
    ath. Works fine so I'm happy.

    ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xfafe0000-0xfafeffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci2
    ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 3.6
    ath0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
    ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
    ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
    ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
    24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps

    The prices I was quoted when I purchased:
    Cost for the modules are:

    Part Number Description Qty Price
                                                    
    T60H835.00 802.11a/b/g Mini - PCI Module 1 - 9 pcs
    $75.00
            (Atheros:AR5213+AR5112) 40 pcs $55.00

    T60H786.00 802.11b/g Mini - PCI Module 1 - 9 pcs
    $65.00
            (Atheros:AR5213+AR2112) 40 pcs $45.00

    They (Chris Bartlett) were nice enough to give me the 40pc price for a
    single.

    DO NOTE: They told me they do not do returns... also.. there was no
    packing. They reached into a closed with thousands of them... wrapped
    the miniPCI in bubble wrap and handed it to me. So there may be no
    docs/support or anything. They apparently sell to OEM. I didn't need
    anything but the card... so it didn't bother me.
