    ThinkPad 11b/g/n PCIe Half Mini Card

    Intel Centrino® Wireless-N 2230
    2x2 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth combo adapter

There is a product ref file:
http://www.lenovo.com/psref/
http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/edgebook.pdf
search for E530 3259.

These entries will be probably useless, but here they are:
$ dmesg -a | less
$ dmesg | grep -i wireless 

Example:
$ pciconf -lv |grep -i wireless
...
wpi0 at pci0:3:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x10118086 chip=0x42278086 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection'
    class      = network
...

Note: that wpi in top line is a driver name.

$ lshal |grep -i wireless

I searched Google but no luck.

Get a recent Live CD or DVD from any Linux distro (Knoppix, Fedora, etc).
