[ILUG] Inspiron Mini 9

[Niall Sheridan]

I bought the XP version (larger ssd) and it works nicely with fedora
10 beta. The wireless card is quick and easy to swap out for a better
(read: intel) one, but broadcom do provide a blob+driver for the 4312
that Dell ship in the device
(http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php). Aside from
needing a tiny patch to compile for the 2.6.27 kernel it works just
fine.
The keyboard is pretty small, but for my uses it's fine.
