I had some trouble with my wireless card. Apart from that, everything went smoothly.

Yes, I did resolve my problems. However, you can try for yourself. The Ubuntu installation CD boots into a working Ubuntu. Put in the CD, boot it, and see for yourself. If everything works, fine, go on and install to your HDD. If something does not work, do a search for your specific piece of hardware. Perhaps there is an easy fix.
