I have a D-Link wireless PCMCIA card in my laptop. It was recognized and
working, almost immediately upon the first bootup. Since my wireless
setup is completely nailed down (as much as I can do so) I had to edit
the wireless setup to add in the SSID and the 64 encyption key by hand.
Other than that, it works 100% from the get-go.
