Perhaps you could repost your hardware description.
Maybe you should post that on a wiki page somewhere? O:-)
;-) sorry, couldn't resist.
My favorite approach is trying live-cd versions.
Many people say that Ubuntu has better wireless support, but I still try
Fedora. (U8.04, F9).
Do I understand that you have no built-in wireless? Or is this the l'top
that had bad wireless hardware?
Well, anyway, which adapters do you have to play with?
After a lot of fiddling with cardbus and USB wireless adapters, I have
found that the most foolproof solution is to push the wireless part
off to another gadget that has solved that problem, and connect to it
with regular 10BaseT Ethernet (RJ45). As I mentioned somewhere,
perhaps in another frazzled thread, the D-Link Wireless Pocket
Router/AP DWL-G730AP does the job.

I second the nomination. I have two of these. Although mostly I use mine
as as AP in places where there is only an Ethernet connection.
BTW, this device has three (mechanically switched) modes: Wifi Access
Point, Bridged Ethernet<->Wifi Adapter, and Router/Firewall. It's very
small (pack of playing cards), comes in a nice shaving kit bag with
small PS, Power-over-USB cable, and flat Ethernet cable (roughly 4.5 ft.).
