Ubuntu 7.10 is much better than previous for wireless support

I installed Kubuntu 7.10 on an old HP"Omnibook 4150 I have, and tried 
with the various wireless cards I have lying around. I was surprised to 
find cards and devices that were previously unsupported just work, like 
the TrendNet TEW-426UB USB hotspot detector/wireless adapter. I also 
bought a cheap Atheros based Digitus card, which works really well. Both 
these two devices work with WPA, all using Knetworkmanager. 

I even got two older cards working, one using ndiswrapper, but they could 
only use WEP encryption. 

All in all, there are significant improvements from versions 6.06 and 
7.04.
