Averatec 3200

I'v Tried everyversion of mepis but the only version that didnt go black and cause the system to freeze was pro mepis and that was in fail safe mode.?? After a liitle trouble shooting i was able to install mepis.?? It recognized all of my hardware except one.?? It does not recognize my wireless network adapter.?? After reading online i found many other peole had the same trouble with debian based OS and used dinswrapper however that will not work on mepis or at least not for me any way.?? Iv installed Simplymepis and earlier versions of mepis on 50 desktops without error however this was the first notebook.?? As a Buisness owner and MCSE trained, i hate windows and there spyware bull.?? After my 3rd sever infection resulting in re-formatt, and having to back up??20GB of information??I decided to end my windows suffering. (except for DVD ripping)?? I desperately want mepis but need my wi-fi.?? Can anybody help?
