Ok, the title is a little misleading. I recently got a new laptop (Dell Inspiron 550) and got out an old Knoppix CD (v3.3) I had, to test it out. With this old version my laptops keyboard and touchpad didn't work and my sound card was not detected, however I was able to connect to my wireless network. I then though i'd try out version 5.1 to see if these problems had been fixed, the mouse, keyboard and soundcard were detected and worked, however my wireless card could not be found. I then downloaded version 3.6 to see if I could find a happy medium, the soundcard wasn't but the keyboard and mouse did work however the wireless network card was still not detected! I don't mind so much about the sound card issues, but I would like to get both my mouse and keyboard and wireless card working, so can anyone point me to any helpful info? I like the look of 5.1 but I find it hard to use linux without having the net ready for reference (I'm a hobbiest coder and linux newbie).

My network card is Intel Pro wireless 2200BG.

cheers
