7.04 has pitiful wireless support

WEP and WPA do not work out of the box in Ubuntu 7.04. The claim is simply false.

Further, since my card (a Netgear WG511T with an Atheros AR5212 chipset) *did* work straight away in Breezy, from my point of view the wireless support has actually regressed.

So way to go Ubuntu.
