I bought a A31 a month ago, and nither did I have a GNU/Linux option, nor
could I atleast get a refund for my Windoze license. Not to mention that the
modem was a Lucent/Agere AMR softmodem, which doesn't work with Linux. I had
to buy a PCMCIA modem.
By the way, my model number is 2652M6U, but it's modem is the same as the one
you mentioned, it's modem doesn't work, the graphic card is a Radeon Mobility
7500, which I can't get 3D acceleration out of it. Other things seem to work
(The intel sound card, and power managment), but I haven't tested it's
wireless capabilties.
