When you mean supplied what exactly do you mean, a mini-pci card, or another card. I have had lots of success changing out the mini-pci card on a Dell 600M, it even has it's own antenna you just unscrew the cover and carefully remove the card. Of course these are all Intel based wifi cards, I changed out the 802.11b Intel card for a 802.11g card that would work better with my mimo AP. http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/prowireless_mobile.htm Now Gnu/linux support might not be exactly what you want, but they might be better than a broadcom chipset. What I would do is go buy yourself a usb ralink card, I have one based on the rt71 chipset, not only is it great under Debian, it is portable. http://3btech.net/chrart80wius.html I usually get good reception as the card hangs out of the usb port, for the price it seems to be a good deal compared to some windows only card.
