I do not know if I'm on the b43. Wireless still eludes me. I do not know what all "atheros" encompasses. This is the netbook.

I do not know if I want to upgrade anyway. All I'm seeing is downloads for Gnome alternatives, and none for Gnome itself (I don't believe the alternatives are matured enough yet for 24/7 use). I'm beginning to get used to Gnome 3 (but then they don't do Gnome 3 like most do).
