I would be running Linux (any distro) right now on my laptop if I could get the wireless card driver working. I tried for three days and gave up, and I’m not new the the open-source world.

I got my Linksys card working under Fedora using ndiswrapper and the windows drivers.

The number of supported divices is, regretabally, small but I have gotten Linksys pcmcia working, and d-link usb working. Some linux distros start network before the pcmcia service that will cause some problems.

Try Freespire. It's real well-behaved with 802.11 wireless cards.
