I can only run installation properly with noacpi command.
but if i want to use my intel ipw2200BG wlan card i have loads of problems!
with iwconfig it always says "unassociated" and i cant even scan for networks nor connect to any...
anybody knows how to help, would be really thankful
cheers

Does the card show up when you type ifconfig?
what chipset is it? have you loaded the windows driver for it in ndiswrapper yet?

I had the same problem with my Keynux Impac (http://www.keynux.com/) with an Intel Pro Wireless 2200 BG. When booting the 4.0 DVD, I had unassociated essid. Iwlist could list all essid around.
I found the fix:
modprobe aes
modprobe arc4
modprobe crc32
modprobe michael_mic
and only then
iwconfig eth0 channel 10
iwconfig eth0 ESSID "my_essid"
iwconfig eth0 key "abcd1234..."
