You can download the 3-disk version for free. If you buy a Power Pack
you get certain commercial packages and drivers on additional disks.

If you download the free version, you can download all updates and many
additional packages also free of charge. If you join the club instead
of buying a set of disks Mandriva get all the money instead of a slice
of it, so helping ensure survival.
There are also some packages, mostly very new stuff, that are made
available to club members, while others have to wait until the next
version.

Do you know what card it is? Wireless seems to have been a mixed
blessing with Mandriva so far. Some people have had a lot of problems.
OTOH, I've just set up 2005LE (club version) on an Acer laptop and the
wireless worked out of the box.
