Hey, even folks with dell laptops find that if they wait a month after marketing, RH will pick up their hardware (and if you know dell and their wacky ideas about hardware, thats pretty good). There are unseen armies of geeks who get off on writing drivers.

Funny you should mention that as that's what I'm planning to load Linux into. I took a look at the linux on laptops site before purchasing to see at least that it could be done.

I'll bet you a double of Abelour A'bunadh Scotch that your WiFi card will be supported in 9.x or within 4mo by RH.

Make it a JW Red and you're on. You see, I bought a Dell so money is a little tight for the next, oh, decade. Well, I guess thats the price one pays for the un-reprogrammable button that takes me to Dell customer support. The fact that it want's to use IE, of which I've purged all trace from XP, makes it a little pointless at the moment but still the pride of the button remains.
