I`m happy because I did it ,and I know somebody will need it.

I have an old laptop where i plugged an ipw2200 BG mini pci card, but my laptops`s bios has not wifi options, and has not switch button. Via software does not listen because HW switch is off, the only way to make it work is masking pins 11 and 13 on the wireless card.
For some atheros used to be pin 7 or 13, but for this card must be pins 11 and 13 masked!!
Now is working well
