Backtrack Ultimate Network tool!
Most may already heard or are using Backtrack but i thought id post it for anyone that hasnt heard of it. Backtrack is a very cool linux distro which can be installed on the hdd or ran from a cd or even ran from a 1gb USB Stick!!. It has 100's of tools for network pen testing, will install most wlan cards including laptop ones. I managed to break my wlan network in under 10mins using backtrack. Its very fun to play around with but it does require some linux know how to use. Best of all, its FREE to download and use.

It has problems on lots of laptops. Won't work on my sister's dell or my friends gateway. Usually a display incompatibility. You are probably out of luck.
__________________edit: Love the distro. I've ran it off my usb drive for a long time. One of my top three distros ever. Remember, it's not so nice if you don't need the tools on it, so don't think it will become your desktop replacement. It is just a tool. If you want a primary OS replacement, you should probably look elsewhere.
