Good idea, Knoppix is also an alternative. From:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/slim_pc/slm/pro_slm_detail.php?UID=546
It looks like the WLAN card is some kind of mini-PCI card and will
probably vary depending on price and availability and who/where the
integration was done. Opening the box and checking the part number of
the chip on the WLAN card is also an option.
