I tried the new Ubuntu 6.06 on my laptop and it was able to detect and install the Linksys Realtek 8180 drivers for my wireless b card right off the bat. Despite a well polished Gnome Desktop, I still preferred Debian and decided to use Debian Etch since the release is only a few months away (I hope). Obviously, any proprietary drivers are not included with Debian, but I am curious as to how Ubuntu was able to do that? I use ndiswrapper to install the drivers I download from Realtek's website for my wireless card in Debian, but is there a way to create a custom kernel with support/modules for most of the wireless cards out there, even if it non-free? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the Linux kernel side of GNU/Linux so please correct me if I don't know what I'm talking about.
