Unfortunately, the A15-S129 did not include a card. That's why I'm
trying to determine what card would work best. Some laptop manufacturers
use the bios to prevent generic mini pci wifi cards from working. Also,
if a generic card would work, it would be nice to have one that has
Linux drivers (specifically available for Fedora 8).

I'm familiar with the orinoco driver, but which mini pci wifi cards
specifically would work with this driver?

Thanks.
