Well, I got one of these off ebay and it works fine in Linux on my R31. 
Even Kwifimanager appears to work.  Can't say the same for under XP
though.  I downloaded & installed the Windows driver from Lenovo, but it
doesn't work.  So much for Windows being so much easier to use!  ;-)

Only downside is I had to give up my dial up modem.  :-(
