    Please, precisely what wireless chipset is in the Samsung R60 and also in the Samsung R505 ?

    I'm considering the purchase of either of these notebooks, and I need wireless compatibility with Linux. I find the easiest way to ensure that is to research the wireless hardware information before purchase, and then check for Linux compatibility (ie a functioning driver).

    Please, can anyone provide the vendor-ID/device-ID for the wireless device in those two model laptops (or provide other information that uniquely identifies the wireless device) ?
