Hi All
Can anyone suggest a lightweight distro suitable for a Toshiba 1730 that will support a Netgear WG511 Wireless card out of the box?
I am aware that there are different versions of this card. This one is marked "Made in Taiwan" but according to this page: http://daemonizer.de/prism54/wg511/ It is the V3 (assuming that the only visible difference between the V2 and V3 is that the label is inverted - or am I missing something?)
I used to run FC6 on this but after a few problems I tried to switch to Ubuntu and found that while everything works well, the network would sporadically stop. Sometimes after 10 seconds and sometimes after hours and hours. If I run /init.d/networking restart it all goes fine again. Again, Ubuntu runs like a dog performance-wise.
I'd like to dump Ubuntu and run something lean and mean - the notebook is just used around the house and does nothing at all that requires grunt - but I need the wireless card to work.
