The two Intel cards are not supported at the moment but I have seen
that there are some work in progress on them (OpenBSD have a driver for
them). The Dell branded card has a Broadcom chipset it seems,
(bcm94312hmg) and thats not supported either AFAIK.
One option is to order it without WiFi and put in some Atheros card
yourself (which I did).
