Hi

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 and have sometimes problems with the 2200bg 
card on Ubuntu Hoary.
That might have been solved in Breezy and/or thanks to a new driver, but 
still, I have noticed that some network access points systematically 
make the system freeze a few seconds after the connection.
I dont know if it happens with many wifi access points, and if it is 
related to the card itself only.

Cheers.
