Make sure you get the Intel Wireless option not the default option.
Intel wireless is completely supported in Linux. The other option that
they offer is an unknown, if it's Broadcom you'll be completely
screwed.

How so? the broadcom wireless in my Dell works perfectly with the Fedora
7 broadcom kernel module. You just need the latest kernel, the one that
comes in the DVD install iso is flawed.

I'm running the latest kernel, it's hopeless.
