Hello Sukrit
I guess you need to know few things about hardware and it's configuration under
linux. Merely looking for a distro. that can auto configure it, will just patch
the problem. Not solve it.
Take a problem at a time. Look around for help and do it manually. Switching to
another distro. because you can not configure hardware easily, is like using a
canon instead of a match stick.(Well, in many cases)
Especially what you have is hardware known to work. So making it work(Once more)
shouldn't be that difficult.
I know it may be frustrating but spend some time and give it a try. You will get
it..
HTH
Bye
Shridhar
P.S. Except may be for your internal modem(Assuming you have one), which could
be hopelessly windows only. No distro. can help you there.
