never having installed Linux B4
I have a Presario R3000 laptop and hope to install Linux as dual boot system.
After looking on the forums for advice I noticed that most R3000 laptops mention them as being AMD64 based with Nvidia graphic chip sets.
My laptop on the otherhand is
Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
ATI Mobility Radion 9000/9100 IGP graphics chip set sharing 125Mb ram out of 1.25Gb
System ram.
I have tried Suse 10.2 live and Unbunto live and they both seem to work, but the wireless
network does not seem to be enabled in either case. I have tried to configure all wireless settings the same as are set in Wdoze with out sucess.
I am unable to connect to the wired LAN as I have a hardware fault that has taken out the
interface (Dropped it oops
).
Is there a Distro that will drive the Broadcom 802.1b wireless or will I need to obtain a
new wireless card or usb dongle for this laptop? As I need the network connection.
Thanks
