Yes I agree this can be misleading but comes under the heading of "Wireless NIC" in the first column. While debating how to label this most important item I researched the chip manufacturers web site and was surprised to find they refer to their chips as Wireless NIC's so that is what I called them, thinking it was self-explanatory..
Perhaps we should Change the heading from Wireless NIC to " Based on Wireless NIC Chip " ??

to USB ID and PCI ID for external and internal respectively would be a more useful choice.

Cool am all over that!!
--- Quote ---Features: Maybe the information from Interface, WLAN standard [802.11], Frequency Band, and Security columns
could be consolidated under a features column. This will help conserve some horizontal space in the table
yet still convey that information.

Like this :)
--- Quote ---Supported via Wifi.tcz: Remove that column and make Wifi.tcz or whatever the primary tool required is the first entry under Required Extensions.
--- End quote ---
See, here's the thing.. I didn't want to alienate or offend those who like there own network manager, though Wifi.tcz is my preferred and recommended manager it isn't mandatory. Whereas the driver module and firmware extensions are.. This really refers to which tcz's are absolutely required for this device to function as advertised and which connection manager has it been tested with. Perhaps I can find a workaround...

I use an internal module, so I think that's enough lspci:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ lspci

02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
tc@box:~$

Bingo?
