I found Ubuntu to be very easy to get the wireless card working on... 
the appropriate drivers appear to be in its 2.6 kernel already, and so 
it was just a case of adding some lines to a few config files and 
everything worked like a dream...

I have, btw, received my 10 sets of Ubuntu CDs today so if anybody wants 
one please feel free to shout! They're for distributing... have a couple 
of folks who I have to send to, but numerous copies left! For the record 
the CD set consists of two CDs... one live CD, so you can try it out, 
and one installation CD for when you decide you want to HD install. 

Website, btw, is http://www.ubuntulinux.org
