If your wifi card is supported, it relatively easy. If not you have to use Ndiswrapper which allows you to use the Windows drivers under Linux. Linux supports more hardware than Windows but sadly it does not always support the latest hardware. That is where people get fucked. If you have an older machine (>18 months) chances are that Linux will work under it. There are Live CDs which allow you find out if you machine is well supported (and no hard disk install is required).
