If you're trying to get rid of driver issues or configuration / broken packages then Debian isn't the best choice for you. Yes Lenny is good but its like almost a billion years behind todays most bleeding edge packages - the most essential of them all is the kernel and the drivers which you so dearly need for your wifi card. If thats not an issue, please do go ahead using Debian.
billion years!! I am sorry - you are wrong!
I am a debian user and I'm currently using Sid. I switched one of my laptops to Ubuntu 8.10 ( note: Ubuntu! and not Kubuntu! ) and many issues with drivers, packages were solved. I needed some tweaks but what the heck! :)
Ah. And, don't want to mention, how many broken packages you got as gift?
