ok i just installed slax 6.0 to a bootable usb stick. works great! except the internet. when i boot from my laptop slax will not identify any wireless networks at my home or school. i even tried a hard line and still can get no connection. however when i boot the usb from my desktop i can connect fine. i have a feeling it has to do with my network adapter drivers, but im not completely sure. i have messed around with it a little but i honestly have no idea on how to get the drivers to work with slax. plz help :(

my network adapters are...

1) Broadcom 802.11 Multiband Network Adapter. 2) Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Ethernet Controller.
