I found this laptop[1] for a GREAT price but I haven't been able to
find out what wireless chip it uses and I want to make sure it works
under F11/F12. I've tried acer.com but they don't list the chip.
Anyone have one or know where to find it?
Thanks,

Actually, you can add a Rosewill RNX-N100 USB 802.11n later. And they work great
with Linux (and the matching Rosewill Wifi router if you don't have n yet).
I think you may need the kmod-wl driver for the built-in chip, Acer like
Broadcom and my similar Acer does, but unless you think you will go to hell for
using non-open source drivers, you are fine. Supposedly 2.6.32 will support many
of these, but I'll pass on that kernel for a while, until I'm sure all the
issues with filesystem loss are fixed.
