This is good to know; it makes it much easier when looking for
wireless support.

I'd written ATI off some time ago, but was half-hoping someone
would jump up and say 'works fine here'.  Probably just as well
they haven't.  Bit of a pity AMD bought ATI, since so many of
the AMD laptops are now ATI onboard.  Looks like Intel all the
way then.

Anyhow, thanks for your advice.
