Ubuntu worked great for me, see this link:

If you manage to get the external monitor or hibernate to work let me
know (or better, update the page with your findings)

The ping on localhost and on the own address is fine, but the ping to other mashines is not coming back. Since the card is working under Windows and the driver from intel didn't chane this effect, I decided to try debian or ubuntu. With debian I have the problem with the external DVD Drive. The Installation is starting but then it is looking for a cd-rom but doesn`t find any to mount. That sounds strange....
