I'm using rightnow SimplyMEPIS 6.0 my laptop built-in modem is a
smartlink chipset and It was automatically installed. Now I'm enjoying
using my dial-up at home. I wonder why Ubuntu (latest version) didn't
install it when I tried to test this Linux flavor.

hav you tried Mepis 6.0? It's based on dapper. and the last time I
checked Mepis 4.3 had the drivers for winmodems. I'll get back to you
regarding mepis 6.0 though. Anyone ever used Mepis before?

I tried Ubuntu 6.06 LTS but it couldnot detect or install the modem on
my laptop. I wish I can use it because what I like about Ubuntu it can
easily update the programs and adding softwares applications is very
easy. More power to Linux and open source softwares. Happy Free
Software Day (FSD).:D

Hey Thad,I have a question on your WLAN statement. If I understood you correctly, you had to use ndiswrapper to make the WLAN work, is that correct?What distrodid you use, any special ndiswrapper tricks you did?
I'm looking into installing Linux on a Dell mobile using a Truemobile wireless card. Un
Acer 3232 (new model with bluetooth, WXGA) no problems with Kubuntu 6.06
and SimplyMEPIS 6.0 both worked fine.
Since they are both LiveCDs I got to test them first before installing
on the hard drive. Although Kubuntu's network config utility seems more
user friendly specially when it comes to
Dell B130 running on opensuse 10.1, everything works fine even the wlan which needs ndiswrapper. The only quirk is I have to traditionally start the the wlan every boot-up and the mic seems not working so I can do skype or any VOIP otherrwise its a perfect set up.

i've gotten gentoo to work on my two year old pentium-m laptop... still have you tried opensuse? opensuse has good device detection, almost as good as ubuntu if not equal. and ubuntu 6 i find to be a good distro that was also able to detect even my wifi card on that old laptop.
cheers. On 8/25/0
