DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Laptop edition

Speaking of laptops, I have ordered DSL to install on my 1998 Compaq 1640 that is just sitting around.(Keeping my fingers crossed that installation goes well - I'm a Linux virgin) If I like it I plan to install Mandriva 2006 on my Desktop.

I heard that some wireless cards work w/ DSL and some work but require much confiquration. Are there any models that you guys would recommend more than others?

Linksys?
NetGear?
D-Link?

Thanks for your input :-)
