Why didn't you try the delilinux kernel?  If he provides 2.2.26 modules,
that means that he must also use the 2.2.26 kernel.  That's what I
remember it using.  Have you thought of trying it?

PS  You definitely need to find out what chipset your wireless card uses
and search the 'net to see if Linux (any Linux) even supports it.  You'll
have wasted alot of time if you only find out later that it's not even
supported under Linux yet.
