Wireless and Linux?

Hi all,

I was just issued a wireless card at work.  Of course, IS only 
support Windows (actually, they only support W2K, so people with XP 
are SOL :)

Fortunately, I left my laptop as a dual-boot, with W2K, which allowed
the IS person to install the card.  Of course, now I want this thing 
to work under Linux.  Any ideas?

It's an Enterasys RoamAbout 802.11 DS PC Card, which is reported as an
Intersil PRISM2 11Mbps Wireless card by cardinfo.

And of course, I'm on Debian :)

Any pointers/gotchas/advice gratefully accepted :)

Thanks,

   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
