If this is not a good linux to use for netgear wireless does anyone else have a suggestion?

Im running a toshiba laptop,
Intel Celeron processor 1.60GHz
448MB of RAM and 74.2 gig HDD
I have a wifi card, Atheros Mini PCI/PCIe Wireless LAN

Can't say any thing for freespire specific but since the nic is atheros base you need to install madwifi. many post on that here and maybe some your distro specific. The key to madwifi install related to most distros is the kernel source must be installed on the machine. Again many post on that here and at google to understand it better than I can describe it.
