Umm... I think you got confused between the wireless and the video chip...

Anyway, I found this[2] site which indicates that at least with his
version of the laptop the wireless worked. There are several
sub-models, some come with 802.11g and some come with draft N. At
least it makes me feel a bit better.

Thanks,
Richard
