wireless networking
Regarding Apple AirPort Extreme and third-party devices. The short answer: It's possible, but probably painful. Link
After looking online, I find that the support for 802.11n in the Linux world to be just starting, i.e. it sucks. There are two or three main projects involved in helping to provide wireless card compatibility. The first is reverse-engineering; the second is following only the IEEE 802.11 standards, and we know that 802.11n will not be standardized until September 2008; the third is using a wrapper software around a Windows driver.
I am not sure Ubuntu will support the 802.11n draft 2.0 card well, but I will keep looking online for more info.
