[TriLUG] IBM wireless laptop

[Reginald Reed]

You need to verify exactly which MiniPCI card is installed, especially
with a refurb model.  It could be just about anything, but most of what
I've heard of IBM shipping (Cisco, Lucent and Intel mPCI wireless)
should work nicely with Linux but its always good to double check.
