Not exactly working. I have the Intel 4965agn in my Thinkpad with Gutsy
x86_64. The wireless connects reasonably well if you have a strong
signal. But then it just hangs up on you at random. The fix is to
upgrade your kernel or, as I decided to do, put up with it until Hardy
comes out. Hardy comes with a kernel that makes it work. 

I understand 64-bit Windows also has similar problems with the 4965agn. 

If yours won't arrive for a couple of weeks yet, Hardy Final may be out
by the time it gets here.
