I've always had problems trying to get linksys/netgear nic cards to work with linux. I decided to spend a little more and started using intel/3com cards which works with any linux distro that I've tried using so far. You may have to listen to Warren and upgrade to 7.3. I'm using 7.3 on my laptop right now and it runs great!
