no i dont think that should be the problem. i have had this same machine
working fine with debian based puredyne and ubuntu jaunty before and i
did not need ndiswrapper ever.
If I do lspci I dont get any wireless device listed. I should get this
line listed
02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG
[Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
but instead i get
02:02.0 Cardbus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC card Cardbus
Controller (rev 01)
So i am not sure about what I need to do. I am seaching online and I got
this
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Debian_5.0_%28Lenny%29_on_a_ThinkPad_X32#Integrated_wireless
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ipw2200
looks like i need to load the ipw2200 module and to install the
firmware. I am downloading it, i hope to be able to fix this myself...
Apart from the wifi card issue I also noticed that the graphics are a
bit funny. As I start applications and move between workspaces the fonts
and window decorations start to get screwed up with artifacts. I
remember getting this once I was tweaking some xorg.conf options to
improve performace. Sometimes it is quite anoying since the fonts get
totally unreadable. I checked xorg.conf but that configuration file is
not used anymore... Watching videos in youtube is funny as well, i get
to see the video but the video refresh is very slow like if there was no
DRI however this is on if i do glxinfo. The graphics card is a ATI
Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY
one more thing... is it possible to customise the Xfce menu? I see that
Xfce works nicely so the only reason i am still sticking to fluxbox over
xfce is because there i can easily manipulate the right click menu.

Hi Enrike,
If you are using a netgear usb device you may need a windows
emulator called ndiswrapper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDISwrapper . I had
a problem using a netgear usb device with Ubuntu 8.04, this problem was
resolved with Ubuntu 8.1, but may exist in puredyne as well.
Hope this helps
Regards
Ken

hi
just installed latest usb-deb iso in my X32 laptop
(http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X32), i dont get any wireless
device listed on ifconfig or iwconfig, this worked out of the box with
plain ubuntu. Is there any module I need to force puredyne to load in
order to make this work? Maybe this is one of those non free drivers
that some distros dont like to distribute?
i see couple of other weird things like with the sleep (never seems to
wake up), i will report as i explore it.
thanks
enrike
