Thanks for the response, I ordered a dell 1420n and if I ever receive it, it will have a: Intel 3945 WLAN (802.11a/g) Mini Card and this post appears to be relevant to the above card: http://kerneltrap.org/node/7704 which indicates that a driver exists (or will soon) for Linux that will not contain a proprietary regulatory daemon, but it will require a new microcode image. I am hoping that I read this right, and that it will allow me to run an untainted kernel.
