Sharon,
Please elaborate on your term "wireless Linux solutions". Personally, I 
have had two laptops with built-in wireless centrino technology, and 
both ran flawlessly on Fedora Core, and OpenSuse. Even when using an 
add-on PCMCIA card for wireless, the OS recognized and loaded the 
drivers without issue. Ironically, I actually find Linux to have more 
comprehensive built-in driver support than Windows. Especially when 
installing the two OSes on machines with no previous OS. If you have any 
further questions or comments, please let me know.
