Ubuntu Linux (5.04) already comes with support for this wireless card out of the box, so you should be all ready to go. However, the version of the driver that comes with Hoary does not support [WPA] properly, so either manually compile and install the driver from the above link, or use Ubuntu Breezy (currently in development). See the WirelessNetworkSecurityNotes for more.

-The graphics controller uses an Intel 915GM chipset, which is supposedly supported by [XOrg]'s i810 driver. However, it doesn't seem to be properly supported by the version of Xorg in Hoary, and graphics didn't work out of the box. (!!)

-http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2005-June/008272.html suggests it all works with newer versions of various packages, so hopefully it will just work in the next release of Ubuntu.

.
For now, use the "vesa" graphics driver. Otherwise, if you really want to use the i810 driver, you can download a newer snapshot of the driver from http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/. I used the
"i915-20050718-linux.i386" which at least got X working with the i810 driver. You'll also need the "common-20050718-linux.i386" to get newer versions of Xorg's libdrm.a and GL modules. (If you install the driver but don't install the "common" package, you'll get an error in your Xorg.0.log file like "libdri version is 4.1.0 but version 5.0.x is needed").
