My BenQ Joybook S52 works out of the box, too. Everything EXCEPT sound and ACPI! At least the ACPI, I tried the MEPIS 6.0 beta 4 and it works perfectly. The only lingering problem has been the sound. I've wandered the Net for an answer, but no cigar so far. Since MEPIS has been adapting an Ubuntu backbone lately, I hardly believe that Dapper will work.
My notebook's WLAN, from lspci, is "Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)"

download a ubuntu linux live (desktop) CD here
http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386.iso
boot the cdrom, then you can "automagically" start using gnu/linux.
read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
then, try it out yourself:
