Actually, I have to respectfully disagree. I've found that of course,
it depends upon the wireless card--for example, a Gateway laptop I have,
with an Intel 2100 requires an additional firmware program with some
distros (such as ArchLinux) and is autodetected by several others,
especially those designed for the Linux beginner. Actually, Linux did a
better job than Windows with that card. :)
