when i attended last tuesdays meeting (i'm the guy who donated the 7 computers) i noticed that 
andrew thompson was running puppy linux on his laptop. soooo, i got interested in it for my old 
compaq armada 1750 laptop. i downloaded the latest live-cd iso and away i went. it's a nice little 
distro. very responsive on old hardware.

anyway, i use a netgear w511t pcmcia card that has the atheros chipset for wireless. this card works 
great in suse (i think i'm using the madwifi drivers...could be wrong). i tried using wireless 
config in puppy but stumbled on which diver to select. does anyone have any tips for me? i checked 
the puppy forums and i do not see anything of interest there.

thank-you,
