I have good experience with IBM and DELL.
I have had success connecting both of them with Wifi.
Most of them come with Intel WP2100 or WP2200 which have a free driver but
non-free firmware.
You compile the driver, download the firmware (free as in free beer) to
/usr/lib/firmware/hotplug
then when you modprobe the driver it will automaticly loads the firmware.
