I confirm that Centrino is supported by sarge. Two days ago, I installed 
the ipw2200 driver on an Asus A3n15 laptop, and now the wifi is working 
as expected. I just had some trouble to configure it. For the 
installation of the driver, I followed the procedure indicated in
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-13576.html

For the configuration, I took the configuration that I had obtained by 
installing ubunty warty on an Asus Travelmate 4001MLi, and I copied the 
following lines in file /etc/network/interfaces:

# The wireless network interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless_name Wifi Link
wireless_essid put-here-your-essid
wireless_key ZZZZZZZZZZ
wireless_mode Managed
wireless_keymode restricted
Et voila!
