I am trying to get this computer to go on the internet with a live linux, but it has a Marvell wireless network adapter on there. Currently I am trying this with Bit Defender Live. Does anybody know of any live distros that support Marvell wireless products?

I can't help you on this, but WTH's with people constantly flooding the hardware market with bizarre new proprietary network chipsets?

IMHO I'd get a USB RALink-based WiFi adapter, or a PCI Prism or Orinoco-based WiFi adapter.

My cheapo USB D-Link DWL-G122 works great under Windows and OpenBSD. I'd assume Knoppix would find it, too.
