Yes, originally I thought the same. This is a Llano based and came with a 1-stream Atheros AR9002WB-1NG (PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_2C371A3B&REV_01). If I install an Intel 6230 (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0091&SUBSYS_52018086&REV_00), it doesn't boot up, I just see blank screen. If I boot into bios and plug it in, then it works, I'm able to install the driver and use it.
