I'm afraid I have no answer for your Dell 1390 card, but I believe the
d620 is "Centrino" capable, which means for not too much money or
effort you should be able to swap out the current mini-pci card for an
Intel 2200BG card, which has good support in linux these days.

A quick search on Ebay shows these cards selling for $35 or less,
including shipping.  Intel has their own 2200GB website here:
