On the other hand, mine doesn't.  I have a brand new Lifebook E8420 and
I believe the Atheros wireless chipset is an a/g/n chipset.  It lists
as:

none0 at pci0:32:0:0:      class=0x028000 card=0x147c10cf chip=0x002a168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00

I read somewhere that this chipset is supported by the new ath9k Linux
driver but, of course, I run FreeBSD.
