We had to run a 2.6 kernel on our newer Sony laptops specifically for
the ipw2200 driver.  (This was on a Centos system.)  I think SL4 would
be your best bet.

Incidentally, has anyone found any wireless tools/applets for linux that
make it is automated as what the XP folks get?  I'm looking for
something that would support WEP keys and look for configured networks
automatically.  I've tried a variety of tools and have been pretty
disappointed.  In my mind, this is one of a handful of things that make
Linux  a poor fit for laptops.  The others include the still maturing
support for hibernate/suspend and the awkward steps for configuring
external monitors or projectors.
