Yup. The details are on the web page. The install saw the wifi hardware and went through the config. I only had to enter the SSID and key and it worked. I didn't have to rebuild any modules. (And this is a 64-bit install, too). The Wifi is started as eth1 on demand by KNetwork Manager when I log in. The wired ethernet eth0 overrides it when it is plugged in, because they are using the same route to the internet through the router. Both interface addresses/routes are configured by the router with DHCP. It was so simple it was scary.
