Everything else except the wireless seems to work.
This laptop is compatiple with Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (link) which works with free software, so it can be upgraded to full A-platinum compatibility class. The card worked right away out of the box. I bought it from eBay and it was very cheap.
