I installed Puppy 4 on my laptop last night (gateway
ml-3109).

Everything works great, sound, modem (yes, modem!),
network card...but don't upgrade for improved wireless
support because they must be saving that for a future
version.

My card is a realtek 8185. Has been on the market for
several years now, fairly common in laptops.

I've also tried it with a usb dongle zydas 1211. Very
happy with Linux on all my pc's but still here it is
2008 and 80211g support is still lacking Bummer.
