I have one of these, and have tried the ndiswrapper stuff and I got the
interface to come up, but I couldn't get it to actually transfer traffic
over it or get an IP via DHCP through my AP to my router.  Could you
tell me how you got it all working, if you can remember.  Do you have it
set up to do WEP and all that?

Glad to hear it might work, cos I'd really like to run Linux on this
laptop, as I'll be getting a Windows laptop from my work next year and a
diddy 12" laptop with linux is so cute :)
