You may find that an "odd" distribution won't find some hardware, because the people who built it didn't have enough experience. (It's a fact that there is a lot of old hardware around which will run Linux very well. It pays to include provision for it in an installation kernel). There's not much anyone can do about "new" hardware. :D Check the Hardware-HOWTO. The card might be one of the odd ones which for some reason has never had a packet driver written for it.
