Setup a number of these <expletive removed> cards. The driver is ugly as
hell and there are all kinds of problems - but your distro probably
worked around that for you :-)

Yep. Though with a bcm43xx 54G card. Install wpa_supplicant and you're
basically done - it's so simple you don't really need a HOWTO.

Give it a go, then followup if it doesn't work.
