I've got the exact same setup, right down to the DLink WiFi router.
The only problems were with WPA. WEP worked great with the GNU/Linux
box (note: I am using NDISwrapper), but I could never get WPA to work.
For the time being the Linux box is off and I've got WPA going on the
PowerBook. I guess with a Linux-friendly card you could dive into
wpa_supplicant and see if it works.

Be forewarned: use Software Update to update your AirPort package! I
could not get WPA-PSK to work otherwise.
