Thanks for the information.  I'll see if I can get it working and come
back here if I have any specific questions.

If you were buying a wireless card for a laptop and wanted to spend as
little as possible, what would you get?  What about for a desktop?  I
have a machine that I want to located in my living room (it's set up as
a Ogg Vorbis juke box) and I don't feel like running wires to it.  The
network would only be for uploading new songs and configuration so speed
isn't a huge issue.  Are there wireless devices that just work (TM) with
Ubuntu?
