On the PCMCIA front, I've been testing two cards: an old Linksys
WPC111 (only 802.11b) and a Netgear WPNT511.
I currently use Linksys WPC 54G (rev3.1) and it works OK. A while ago I
had to use ndiswrapper to force it to work, but it's no longer
necessary (now works with bcm43xx).
I've tried 'no security', 'WEP' and 'WPA2' (with
wpa_supplicant) - all
of them work.
As for wireless, some reviewes mention that the Dell Inspiron 600m
has been shipped with Wifi, either Centrino or a mini PCI card bolted
into one of the bays. This one appears to have neither. Or is there a
tool/command for checking for onboard Centrino.
Go and try to find it in BIOS. I've got Inspiron 6400. In BIOS settings
I can see that 'on-board WIFI is present' and 'on-board Bluetooth is
missing' - which both are true ;) So I'm sure Your 600m will also tell
You the truth.
