Yes. I don't remember doing anything special to get it working to be
honest. IIRC it worked right out of the box for me. This laptop has
been upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy to Hardy, so it could have been
working fine in Feisty and whatever changed in between then and now
didn't mess with whatever was working. I'll give you dumps of whatever
command you want to see for the wireless config stuff.

Here's lshw -C
  *-network

I even move around between multiple APs at my house, wife's work, and
sister-in-laws house. All running WPA/TKIP.
