Hey guys,

i have been trying for a while to find a linux distro that manages to recognise most of my laptop's hardware without much hassle. (I got an Amilo D (Compal Cy-26) with Athlon Mobile 1600+, 256 mb ram, Radeon IGP).

I also got a Netgear WG511 wireless lan card (the one thats made in China).

Knoppix has been succesfull in autodetecting all of my laptops hardware, apart from the Wireless PCMCIA card.

Anyone got any clues on getting the bloody thing to work? No distro that ive tried so far has been able to autodetect the damn thing.

Id appreciate step by step instructions since i am new to the whole Linux world

If i manage to fix this thing, knoppix is heading str8 for my laptop's harddrive

Thanks b4hand all!!!!!
