solved the problem with simply mepis linux. works great

is there a way to copy the driver from freespire that is working to an installed pclinux or ubunto(which i was running as live cd)

card is a ti acx 111

i am using freespire at the moment and it works allright.web broweser is a little outdated.
surprisingly it had a driver for the wireless adapter i am using.
i tried ubuntu 9.10 as a live cd but it could not find the wireless card. or the printer or the scanner.
freespire run as live cd did work well well enough to surf internet.
card chip is a ti acx 111 what driver would i use for ubuntu?
looking for something to get rid of bill g. crap
