Heh, I'm a ubuntu fanboy, until "The Next Best Thing (tm)" comes along.  
Sorry, tweeks, I don't (yet) have a 64-bit laptop, (die, Toshiba, die!) 
so I can't help you there.  I do run Kubuntu Edgy on my laptop, and the 
Netgear WG-511T card works reasonably well.

This has re-piqued my interest in putting my Netgear WG-311T PCI card in 
my AMD-64 workstation (also running Edgy) to see how well it works.
