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).
