I have Mandrake Limited Edition 2005 (aka 10.2) installed on a Toshiba
Satellite M35X-S311 which has a Centrino chipset but i don't know
which version.  Everything works fine except I'm still using my
Netgear MA401 for 802.11B since I haven't had time to look at getting
the built-in G working under Linux yet.   I have used the built-in G
under winXP when I've played with NetStumbler.

Oh, I'm running 2.6.11-6mdksmp.
