Keep in mind that there are several versions of the Linksys wireless
cards (WPC11). Version 1 and 2 should work fine with Linux, and version
3 has been reported to work. Version 4 of the WPC11 is based on an
unsupported Broadcom ship and will not work at all, according to what
I've seen.
This is not a function of the distribution, necessarily, but more on
whether the drivers have been made available to the Linux kernel developers.
