 "Intel is working on Linux support for Centrino, its package of chips for
  mobile computers with wireless networking abilities, but the company
  hasn't yet decided how or when to release it."

 "Intel, an early investor in Linux seller Red Hat, has worked to ensure
  Linux can support the features that arrive in new processors."
