The kernel that worked for me is:
2.6.22-14-generic
But I only tested a Linksys WUSB11v2.1 (old usb device), a
Dynex 802.11g Enhanced Wireless-G Laptop Card (pcmcia card - that popped
right in with the 3rd party drivers) and a Wireless G Notebook Card
(which drove me nuts until I backed down to the generic kernel & used
ndiswrapper & ngisgtk). Sorry, I've not tested any PCI cards.
