Have to agree - moved from Debian unstable on the laptop and it detected 
all my hardware (including the WiFi card) out of the box. Also does all 
the power management. Installed network-manager and now it does WPA as 
well. No faffing around with compiling IPW2200, IEEE802.11 and 
wpa-supplicant.

Only thing I don't like is I can't increase the tracking speed on the 
trackpad. Ideas?

It's getting to the stage I can see myself using Ubuntu as my default OS.
