I have an IBM Thinkpad R40 and finding chipset information for it all the docs say that it's an Ethernet Driver(ya i know) so the best i've got is that it's intergrated into the motherboard. I even have the pdf manual with all hardware specs and all it says is the following:

I have an IBM X30 which has an onboard wireless and onboard ethernet
interface. It was no drama to setup at all however I do get device
timeouts on the wireless NIC from time to time. Often when trying to cp
large files via NFS. What does dmesg tell you about the wlan NIC?
