I just bought a Sony FR130 Athlon 2000+ notebook from Best Buy and have loaded Shrike onto it. USB appears to be broken (VIA chipset, three USB 2.0 ports), haven't tried burning CDs yet, but other than that everything seems to work and I haven't had time to try to fix USB yet (VIA recommends switching to kernel 2.5.60 or later for USB 2.0 support? Maybe I should try rawhide first?). Haven't loaded nVidia's drivers yet (GeForce4Go 420, aka NV17, 16megs RAM) but XFree's fired up without complaint. For a bit under $1K after rebates it's pretty nice. It has a VIA VT8235 southbridge. There's a FR150 model coming with a 15" screen instead of 14". What's really nice is that they partitioned the 40gig Hitachi hard drive into 15gig and 25gig partitions. I deleted the 25gig NTFS partition to make room for Shrike. Anyhow, what wireless card should I get for this? Do any of the 802.11a/b, b/g, or about-to-ship a/b/g cards work? (I'm guessing no...) What about WiFi PCI cards for my server (also running Shrike), or should I just get an access point?
