The new v5.3.1 DVD now detects this wireless network controller correctly as wlan0.
I just can't figure out how to get it to connect to a WPA2 encrypted wireless signal. It's like the wpa2 supplement isn't working or something?

Backtrack 3 Beta should work without a hitch on your notebook. I errr ... surf with it all the time. I have a dv9200 with the same wireless card.

You'll need to read the iwconfig man page (type "man iwconfig") for details on how to set network passwords via the command line.

5.3.1 recognizes my wireless cards, too, but even when I set things up correctly, I still can't connect. Puppy Linux (http://www.puppylinux.org/) and grml (http://grml.org/) work great, though--I'm using grml 1.1 to write this post. So you may have better luck with those.
