I'd guess that people using SMEserver with wireless are more interested in running cards in a PC in ad-hoc mode for a small subnet since if you have an access point you don't need to do anything special on the router side. I haven't tried a wireless card with a 2.2.x kernel but Mandrake 8.1 automatically detects and uses an SMC card when I swap it with the usual wired Xircom on my Toshiba laptop.
