X crashes with SSID Broadcast turned off

This is why I went with Ubuntu, actually Xubuntu (XFCE desktop environment by default.)  It simply worked right out of the box, configured everything including the printer.  The only thing I had to do manually on the laptop was to configure the wireless interface to look for the network information (SSID).

Don't rule out other flavors of linux for your experimentation.  When it
comes to wireless network drivers there are some big differences in
distro-specific kernel patches.  Usually that works out in ubuntu's
favor (they support more cards out of the box), but when you live on the
edge...
