I doubt that there should be any problems supporting this card on just about any version of any distro based on a 2.4 kernel... I'm a fan of solving problems, not just trying things till the problems go away... Just my take, I'm not saying other approaches are incorrect. I just prefer to figure things out.. that's what I like about linux.. that we have the source and can fix problems.. unlike with windows, where we are pretty much forced to wait for some vendor somewhere to 'give' us a fix.
