I have been using Knoppix v 3.9 on my new Gateway 6810GZ laptop. It's a Centrino chipset with a Pentium M 1.7GHZ, 512 MB Ram, 60GB HD, Intel Graphics, etc...

The Conexant sound is not detected and my efforts to get it to work has been unsuccessful. I was able to get the wireless to work only after changing out routers.

This laptop is a variation of their M360 and it is only available at Best Buy....but I got it for 899 with no rebates.
