Then you will get mine :-p

I have a compaq cq61 with intel video. Wireless works out of the box (Atheros 
AR9285). Not a
brilliant machine, but a nice one. You asked :-p


Anyway, there is the HCL somewhere on the opensuse wiki. You should look there 
whatever you intend
to buy - and everybody should report if their machines work or not and to what 
degree. That's what I
did. My exact model was not reported, but a similar one was, so I took the 
risk. And I'm quite happy.
