i have a dell latitude D505 and an m-audio firewire 410 plugged into the onboard firewire interface and it works fine...
The laptop is not very powerfull so i only use it to play rendered tracks live with some midi to hardware synths.
BUT i've had horrible crackling and hums with some USB interfaces (those who take power from the USB i guess) but only when the AC cord is plugged ! so stay away from these.
A friend told me he solved this problem by not plugging the laptop to the ground. To achieve this he took apart a multiplug and removed the ground connectors. Haven't tried it myself though since i solved the problem by purchasing a firewire interface.

@felon-collie
It's common with laptops to get ground problems.
To disconnect the ground is one way of solving it, but that means that you equipment is not grounded.
If you don't mind the risk of getting electrocuted or having your laptop burn up it's an easy and cheap way.

A better solution is to use a DI box with ground lift or a ground loop isolator.
Something like this between you sound cards output and the mixer will do the job:
