That policy probably had a lot to do with it.
I bought a A31 a month ago, and nither did I have a GNU/Linux option, nor could I atleast get a refund for my Windoze license. Not to mention that the modem was a Lucent/Agere AMR softmodem, which doesn't work with Linux. I had to buy a PCMCIA modem. By the way, my model number is 2652M6U, but it's modem is the same as the one you mentioned, it's modem doesn't work, the graphic card is a Radeon Mobility 7500, which I can't get 3D acceleration out of it. Other things seem to work (The intel sound card, and power managment), but I haven't tested it's wireless capabilties.
