Wireless networking

Good Morning,=20

Is there a linux distro that supports wireless networking out of the box?=
I=20
have a linksys WMP11 card that uses the prism chipset. I need to be able =
to=20
use it in ad-hoc mode, that is without a wireless access point.

In my possession, I have Suse 8.0, Redhat 7.3, both as a stand alone dist=
ro=20
and as part of the K12LTSP distro and Mandrake 8.1

Would any of these work? Or is there one that I can either purchase, down=
load=20
or pick up a disk from someone that would do this?

As an aside, I have had much better results using linux as a desktop in t=
he=20
workplace than as a play computer at home. And this wireless stuff is jus=
t=20
for fun so I want to make it easy.
