Hi there! So [http://zareason.com/shop/Alto-3880.html this machine].
That intel wireless card will not work with free software (while the driver might be free, the firmware isn't). On the other hand, you can only get 3D with intel video cards, so you could ask them if they could swap the wireless card with something that works.
What does work is a good question, since manufacturers tend to use different chipsets on supposedly same models... However, you can find some pointers on http://www.h-node.org/
Welcome to free software and congratulations on actually reading up on the issues as too few people do that!
