OK, so neither Linux distro "sees" your wireless chipset. The driver may be missing from the kernel.
"7. Do you see your wireless card when you enter lspci in the terminal?
- I saw Ethernet controller(This is the wired one right?) And I saw Network controller(Think this is the wireless one)"
I'm not sure that the "Network controller" is the wireless chipset. Is there no other info like manufacturer or model number?
(I checked, and that should be a Broadcom 4315 controller on your dm1. It seems to be a problem for Linux:
From [
www.linlap.com]:
"The only distribution that I have tried so far which boots, installs, and everything works out of the box is Mandriva One 2010.0. It is dead easy, and very, very nice.
U*bu**u 9.10 boots and installs ok, but there is no driver for the Broadcom 4315 WiFi in the base distribution. After completing installation, you have to have a wired internet connection, then go through System/Administration/Hardware Drivers, and it will offer a choice of the STA or b43 driver. I have only been able to get the STA driver to work; the b43 driver installs without problem, but never sees any wireless networks. The STA driver seems to work just fine, but remember, you HAVE to have a wired connection to get it downloaded and installed.
openSuSE installs ok, once you get the CD to boot, but the only driver for the Broadcom WiFi is the b43 driver, and once again I can't get it to work. It should be possible to get the STA driver (also known as wl) from the openSuSE software build service, but I haven't taken the time to try that yet.)"
So, Jurgen, you are going to have trouble getting wireless to work on anything but Mandriva.
Maybe you can try some other Linux distro's. If you like Enlightenment, try PCLinuxOS (based on Mandriva) (http://www.pclinuxos.com/?page_id=215). And you can always try U*u**u - just to see whether the wireless works.
