Yup, it's a known problem with pci-e cards (at least we think it's for
all pci-e cards for now, we are sure it affects 2424/5424 and 2425).
It's being fixed so expect a patch on wireless-testing soon. Have in
mind that your card is not a 5212 (else your card should work), newer
thinkpads have a 5424 card but for some reason IBM uses the same pci
id.
