    Theres a load of info here, once you find a card that works, its usually straightforward enough to setup using YaST.

    Avoid anything with a broadcom chipset in it. I don't tend to play around with full PCI wireless cards but on my laptops i have replaced any Broadcom mini-pci cards with Intel ones, does the trick (as long as ye don't mind the fact they use a binary firmware)

    was a pain in the neck on Kubuntu actually. The KDE Wireless manager kept saying the connection failed, until I assigned my own IP instead of using DHCP and set up the DNS servers manually

    I managed to get my linksys card working using ndiswrapper. It tends to need reloading whenever I update the system but otherwise it works fine.

    theres a package you have to get to use WPA in Linux I think. Search the ubuntuforums.org as it will be already answered there.

    You need to install wpa-supplicant. Also if you install NetworkManager and have it running as a default service with an applet in Gnome it can handle things such as WEP/WPA authentication.

    Note: I only used that in fedora i've never done any playing around with ubuntu
