Both the APs I need to deal with regularly are WPA Personal.

Inspiron E1505, and suspend and resume are also working well since I got off 
the older ifw3945 driver.

The non-free firmware, which troubles me.  I was under the impression that 
free software would drive all the hardware in the laptop, and was a bit 
disappointed that I needed non-free software to use the wifi.

For the next laptop, I will do more research and hopefully get one where all 
the integrated hardware is driven by free software, Debian (preferably 
stable) in specific.
