The new notebooks in the ThinkPad T60, R60, X60 and Z61 series integrate Atheros’ AR5008E-3NX chipset, which supports the PCI- Express(TM) interface and operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.

Atheros said the new Lenovo designs are the "first enterprise-class notebooks" from Lenovo to feature draft 1.0 802.11n capabilities and are among the first PC OEM designs to come to market employing Atheros’ XSPAN technology.

The Lenovo notebooks are available now. Pricing was not announced.

Update: CSIRO shuts down Buffalo WLAN shipments

Updated 6/21/07

Last Friday, a federal court in Texas granted Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, an injunction to prevent infringement of its wireless network patent by Buffalo-group companies in the US. The injunction prevents the sales of all wireless LAN products by Buffalo until a license for CSIRO technology is negotiated.

CSIRO had begun a test case against the Buffalo companies in February 2005 in Texas, after the industry had failed to accept CSIRO’s offers to license its wireless local area network (WLAN) patents on reasonable and nondiscriminatory (RAND) terms.
