I would second that. I've got Ubuntu 7.04 on a Toshiba Laptop with a
3945 wireless card.
Network detection and connection with WPA was/is a snap.
VPN connection through the connection is also available on the applet.
Wireless Routers don't specially care if you run Windoze or Linux. In
fact some of them run linux themselves!!
Regarding /N, are you going to use a separate /N pcmcia card? then Id
suggest you look at the supported cards list on the Ubuntu website.
