Hi E.S. I'm using Dell Insiron 500m laptop, it works well with Debian. And I think any popular laptop could work well too. Here is a short list of my hardwares: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM AC'97 Audio Controller Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
For your mentioning cable modem, if you use PPPOE in MS win32, you could refer to http://wiki.debian.org/PPPoE for using it in debian.
