Wireless and New Version Suse

I am considering going off windoze and running linux as the primary OS.

Questions:
Is the newest version of Suse easy to set up on a wireless network?

I have Netgear wireless card on my computer and my wife has the cable modem
in her office at the other end of the house and is running XP.

I am strongly considering buying a new computer.

Do I have to have a "Netgear" wireless card installed on the new computer or
is there another wireless network card that is easier for Suse to recognize
and install?

If Suse is not the best for wireless connectivity, can you recommmend
another Distro?

Thanx
