Yes, I checked the Alienware website for an updated BIOS.
It's a Phoenix BIOS, which has very few knobs in the BIOS
setup.  My next step I guess is to try to contact the Alienware
tech support to see if a BIOS is available through a 
specific request.

I'll have to locate a live cd of 6.1 Release because I'm
fairly certain that I had the wireless nic working.
