I did have a Mandrake box which I wanted to use as a wireless print server. The wireless worked just peachy, but I could not, under any circumstances get linux to print to my printer (one of those free Dell rubbish). I had to ditch it for Windows.

If memory serves, it took about 3 commands, and it was explained well in the readme file.

If you don't want to mess about with that, Linuxant provides a guided GUI setup for installing wireless cards using their XP .sys files on linux, but you have to pay.
