Any thoughts

Again this is coming from someone with limited experience with Ubuntu but I would think that X1650 card would work nicely with another distro. I have had issues in the past with different versions of Ubuntu getting older hardware to work. I had very good luck getting the same outdated hardware to work nicely on Mandriva. I never was able to get my trusty old NETGEAR WG111v2 USB wireless adapter to work on previous versions of Ubuntu. I did get it working nicely on Mandriva using the ndis wrapper. For a lot of older hardware IMHO anyway you most likely need to use a different distro. Fortunately their are many nice options you can try. I would love to hear if that X1650
worked on Mandriva for example.

You've got a point. I can't get my onboard audio (ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)) working with Ubuntu since 8.04, yet it works with all other non-Ubuntu distros with zero problems.
