I didn't have much luck with Mandriva, so I put Fedora Core 4 on it Thursday afternoon. At the clinic Thursday night with I think it was Mark's help I ended up searching www.google.com/linux for the the windows description of the card and found some ideas in the Ubuntu forums. My Laptop hasn't shown up on linux on a laptop site yet. Under fedora I was able to get the sound working easily. I may have use several distros to figure how to get everything working, then choose the preferred distro and bring all my learning to that one.

I just installed mandriva 2006 on my laptop. I picked up everything except the modem. I was surprised that it picked up the symaptics touch pad ok.
I will work on the modem probably tomorrow.
also got Mandriva set up on my Acer Travelmate 4400 but can not seem to get the wireless working ? As I'm back working as a truck driver going long haul-all 48 states-sure would be nice to be able to use mandriva wirelessly at truck stops.Any pointers/links ? I found 1,but could not get it to work.
Think it was for another distro
