zepto wpro 300mbit 802.11n chip supported?

I'm looking forward to buying myself a laptop and i just found the zepto 6214w which looks really nice.
but i'd like to know if there is any support for the Zepto Wpro 300Mbit Wireless Lan card in (arch) linux yet.

anyone running a zepto with this card?
i'd really like to get the new n-supportive wlan adaptor instead of the older intel pro/wireless 3945ABG.

I don't know about the zipto, I know there is a site which lists all the working wireless cards, but for the life of me cannot remember it.  But I do know it exists, so don't give up hope.  If the net speeds up, I might try again. 

I am running the PRO/wireless right now, and have no problems whatsoever with it.

yep, someone gave that link to the site you are probably talking about to me recently, saying i wasn't the first asking for that.
there were quite a lot of network adapters listed, but no 802.11n so i think it will only take some time until those arrive in linux.

currently i'm even thinking of buying a macbook and install arch on it.
i'm just not sure since i don't know how easy it is to get it all running compared to a "normal" laptop, since macbooks use another bios, have only one mousebutton and such stuff.

time will tell
