If you can find a PCI-e wifi card that uses the Atheros AR6000 chipset (or something very similar), AND install 3.1 on the DX, you may be able to get wifi working. Another way is to find a pci-e wifi card that is supported on linux, and recompile the kernel with the driver, replace the 3g modem with the wifi card, install 3.1, and upgrade the kernel.
