The thing about PCLinuxOS, is that while it was really nice a year ago, from what I've seen it has since been trumped by Mandriva with their latest release. In order to enable the driver for the Intel 965 chipset, you need to use a more recent kernel than the default used in PCLinuxOS (2.6.18), and in order to do that, you need to enable testing repositories (I'm using the same chipset, and that's what I had to do--grabbed a 'testing' 2.6.24 kernel and intel drivers work fine).
Even in their testing repositories, it seems everything is a bit behind.
On the other hand, if you don't mind things being a little behind, after getting everything set up properly, PCLOS works very nicely.
