I have an Intel internal 802.11b/g card in one laptop that works great
right out of the box with Knoppix and openSUSE, but not with Fedora or
Kubuntu.  However, the Belkin PCMCIA 802.11g NIC in my son's laptop
started right up with Fedora 7 and Ubuntu, but openSUSE required some
extra configuration.
