My laptop:


-network

product: PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci(a)0000:03:00.0
logical name: wlan0
version: 02
serial: 00:13:02:6f:18:e5
width: 32 bits

ethernet physical wireless

Puppy,Parted Magic.....(just the ones I've tried so far)

You must be doing something wrong.
