Trouble with Wireless cards using Linux

[swytch]

I truly enjoy dabbling with Linux distros.. one complaint I have, though, is the issue surrounding wireless cards.  Most installs I've done have worked seamlessly - save wireless card issues.  I've been to various sites which outline potential fixes, bought various wireless cards..old firmware cards, new firmware cards... nothing seems to work for me.  Its really the only complain I have being as I like to partake in sec testing with LIVECDs but find myself tethered to a CAT5E!

Have you found a solution?  Complaint?  Share it with us...

Ndiswrapper, plain and simple. especially if your using a live cd, because then you can just load the drivers off your windows install. ive used ndiswrapper for all my wireless cards without a problem
