 Henry,Mark,All Linux gurus.
 I bought a new ASUS 15 inch 4 processor note book and the wireless
 does not work under 10.1.

 I saved the original sys 7 350 Gig HD and put a 1T HD in for Ubuntu 10.1
 The wireless worked under sys7

 I don't like the GUI user interface on 11.04 or later.
 Too simplistic,

 What do I put in all these boxes?

Linux mint 11 or lubuntu 12.04
If the laptop has a sata drive (most likely) change the hard drive bios
to standard from enhanced before loading the operating system then back
to enhanced after install. If you install Teamviewer and contact me via
phone I can take over your computer and help you with problems.

   Paul,
I suspect you might have a Broadcom wireless device.  Download Puppy
Linux and make a Image disk and boot off of that.  See if you can get
connected to the internet.  I believe you will be able to wireless.  You
may be able to determine the brand (chipset used). That info will help
you find the right "driver" to make it work when you boot back off your
Hard Drive Linux.  BTW,  Puppy can be install on a thumb drive and taken
with you on the road.  Almost any machine can be used to get online.
Puppy is a good diagnostic tool to check hardware.  Runs well on older
hardware with 512 K ram.  Hope this helps.
