Thanks for the recommendation! I installed a Dell Truemobile 1150 in a (gift) Thinkpad R40 last week. Worked perfectly in WinXP and Knoppix 3.3, no fussing with (PrismII) drivers in either case.
Also, the antenna leads were plenty long enough, and I didn't see any BIOS authorization problems (as mentioned at http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0312.2/0147.html).
