Learn from suse install to improve my Ubuntu install?

[Senectus .]

I let novell install SLED 10 on my test laptop the other night.. it
all went very well and it's the first distro I've ever tried (and I'd
tried dozens) to successfully detect and setup _all_ hardware on my
Thinkpad A31p on it's own, including the bluetooth and the wireless
card.

I'm enjoying the very clean and slick setup of SLED 10 but am starting
to pine for my old Ubuntu again.

I'd _love_ to have wireless working the same in ubuntu but I know from
experience that it's a difficult thing to get working (in fact I've
never had wireless working under ubuntu).

What do I need to do while I still have my perfectly working SLED 10
setup to find out how they managed to get it working when I can't
under ubuntu?
Can I learn anything from this that will improve my Ubuntu setup?
