Does Atheros card need a particular brand router?

I'm looking at a Toshiba laptop, model L35-S2171, and the specs say
it uses an Atheros wireless card. Does this mean I need to use a
particular type or brand of wireless router at the other end, or
will pretty much anything do?

I assume this isn't Super or Turbo G, or it would have said so.
Does that sound right?

No such model laptop. Wanna try again, this time adding whether it's
a Satellite, Satellite Pro, Portege, Qosmio, Tecra, etc.

Oops. It exists, just too new to appear on the Toshiblah support
site. Cheap too:

I can't find any details on this laptop or its wireless card. It's a
fair assumption that it will work with any 802.11g wireless access
point or wireless router. I don't think they would include a Turbo-G
or other 108Mbit/sec proprietary card at that price. If paranoid, see

Anything Wi-Fi certified will do.

It sounds right, but really doesn't matter, since the proprietary crap
will fall back to Wi-Fi standard operation.
