Yes, I know from experience of another netbook I wouldn't use the things that
don't work on the U135DX even if they did.
It's good that a lot of the important things work :)
I tested & bought it. It's a MSi U135DX MS-N104, the WiFi works, Integrated
Intel Gfx works with 3D, Sound works, Ethernet works. But the Bluetooth and
the SD slot don't. The Touchpad is limited to basic PS/2 mouse operation (as

Chris, does the USB adapter (not wifi card) work for any type of laptop?
Thanks Chris, that's really good news.
The companies we can confirm use DRM which prevent the replacement of the

have wifi cards requiring nonfree firmware, so they probably won't be
useful without replacing them. (There are also non-replaceable wifi
