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.
