A cursory glance at the Centrino site shows that it has integrated wi-fi so 
it's probably this to which the issue of "drivers" relates (okay, probably 
other on-board stuff as well but the wi-fi is likely to be the most complex 
to suss out, no?)

Ever the optimist, I contacted Intel's 1800 support number this morning 
intending to push the case for Linux support.  I ended up being advised to 
visit the Centrino site :-)   Lol.  Well, I went back there and fired off a 
"feedback" form.   I suppose my chances of a response are significantly 
less than a Lotto win but if the miracle happens I'll post the results.

Cheers,
Denis
