I await the day that Ubuntu installs without a hitch on a new laptop. I would give up my iBook. I am so used to where Linux has its files that sometimes I look at what Apple did "/Library/blah blah" and it makes me wonder what they were thinking.
If you know of a laptop that Ubuntu works "out of the box" on, please post!

NDISwrapper is built into Ubuntu kernels, but mixed reviews on stability, and requires the Win driver (meaning you didn't get the laptop bare, and either dual-booted or thought to save it).
In my case I just downloaded the proper drivers from... I think it was HP. Most foo.exe files are actually self-extracting zip or cab, unzip or cabextract will pull the files out with no fuss. No Windows installation necessary.
