I've been told that drivers for 802.11g under Linux are hard to get,
due to some stupid FCC security-through-obscurity regulation or
something. There is a software package called "ndiswrapper" which
attempts to load the binary drivers for Windoze and hook them into the
Linux kernel. From what I understand, it works well at least some of
the time.
