It's of course built for the purpose you've stated, and looking over the
specs you should have a green light for that card.

See what you think.
This is timely, I will look at puppylinux. Any thoughts on MUlinux and FDLinux?

I am experimenting, to see whether I can convert either or both NEC Versa (2200C
& 4230 circa 1996/7) laptops into Multimedia Digital Frames...the challenge is
as much about hardware as software. Even the floppy disk drive, I am using on my
current laptop, makes the FD appear as a USB device and the low level Formatting
instructions don't work.

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.
TIA
Nigel.
