I’m planning on switching from Ubuntu 7.04 to Linux Mint 4.0 and I’ve tried out the mint live cd and everything else is running fine. The restricted drivers manager has the atheros driver for my D-Link DWL-G510 rev. B card enabled just like in ubuntu but it says the device isn’t enabled, also in the network manager only the wired connection for my nic card appears. I need to be able to enable my wireless card before I install Mint.

I’m planning to upgrade my PC, will i still be able to run “Linux for Intel based systems” on an AMD processor?
This is the processor in question:
HP Pavilion 14.1″ Laptop featuring AMD Turion X2 (DV4-1428CA):
Turion RM-75 2200 MHz/2 x 512 KB/2000 MHz/11x/35 W/Socket S1G2/OEM
Such things as Ubuntu, will those distros run on AMD systems? As in, can i run a live cd that works on my Core 2 Duo, on an AMD?
