Hi David,
Yes, Pentium M is listed since FC1. But by default, when you install
FCx, it's setup to using different Pentium process, i.e., Pentium 4.
In my case, I'm using Compaq nx5000, 1.7Ghz, 512MB RAM, Centrino,
I had to install the kernel source, re-configure to make it point to
Pentium M, then re-compile the kernel. Then configure the wireless
network card using wireless tools.
