[Discuss] Wireless on Laptop

[Murray Strome]

Some time ago, I asked for help in trying to get a Live CD or DVD LINUX 
distribution that would properly recognize and configure my wireless 
card, which is:
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG

I had no luck with Knoppix nor with Ubuntu (though Ubuntu at least 
recognized the card).

On a whim, I just downloaded Mandriva One 2008 CD and tried it. It 
worked flawlessly!  Also, my sound card works great with it, as does 
Flash with Firefox.  For what I have tried to this point, it appears to 
be faster than either (K)Ubuntu or Knoppix. Admittedly, I haven't tried 
too many things.

Although I have come to like a lot about Kubuntu, at least for now, I 
will likely be playing with Mandriva on the laptop.
