You really should give more details on the specifications of your laptop than just the model. Don't expect people to lookup the specs themselves.

The usual problem is the wireless card. What wireless card does it have according to Windows Device Manager?

Not sure about the gma500. (Haven't used it.) The RT3090 might be a problem, I haven't used it, but I know that some of the RT cards are difficult to get working.

However, a quick google indicates that that particular card *might* be handled by the rt2860 driver.

If possible, try a liveCD and see how it runs.

The gma500 seems to be possible with the help of additional repositories:

By the way, AdamW is a QA manager for Fedora.
