I'm happy to plug Ubuntu; Their network configuration UI supports
wireless fairly decently.

That's assuming it's a wifi configuration issue, though.  Remember
that wireless card manufacturers often change chipsets with few (if
any) outward clues to which chipset the card uses.  What do you get if
you run lspci on the command line?
