Do you know what the chipset is in the wireless card? That's usually the
most critical piece of info on getting a wireless card working.

I picked up an Acer Aspire One to play with as a portable F/E, the
Atheros wireless card works OK. It's a lot of machine for $325. I'm
wondering what I can do with the Intel graphics.
