Yeah I saw that promo in the papers. This unit isn't under a promo but
under the academic pricing plan.

Status update:
1. ACPI can't detect the battery charge, and I have little idea of how
to fix it.
2. While the 'Madwifi' project has a native driver for Atheros, my
card is not supported by the binary HAL. The CD drivers say it's a
Atheros 5001, but ndiswrapper matches the PCI ID with the DWL-G510.
I'm now downloading its driver from dlink.com.
