I'm running ubuntu edgy on a T60p right now.  But the wireless is a
ipw3945 card.  I used to use madwifi - which was a bit trick to get
running but worked fine in the end.  I think you use the distribution
you like and then post the specific trouble you're having.
(ie i can load the madwifi driver but the card will not associate with
my access point)
