We also tested the ASUS L5000D, HP/Compaq Presario R3000 and the Arima W730. All of those should work well with SL92.
I have a Compaq R3000, and it has a Broadcom 802.11 b/g chipset. I thought Broadcom chipsets weren't supported, at least not natively. Every solution I've seen involved the use of ndiswrapper, and that precludes the use of 64-bit linux. Am I wrong? If so, I'd love to hear it! :-) I've been dying to get 64-bit Linux installed on it, but I've avoided the issue due to lack of WLAN support for Broadcom chipsets.
One way to get wireless under 64bit is to buy a Cardbus card with a supported chipset and use that instead of the builtin. -Andi
