I have a Dell TrueMobile 1150, it is an Orinico chipset, fully supported, and with a kernel patch you can even use kismet with it for war driving.

Be very careful with Dell on this sort of thing. Dell changes out the chipsets and does not change model numbers or anything you can see externally ( website, specs, etc. ) to reflect it.

This is a perfect example as I have a Dell TruleMobile 1150 that is a broadcom chipset that isn't supported. So I've got to use a pcmcia LinkSys card.
