Recomendation needed

[C P]

I'm installing freeBSD on an old laptop (gateway solo 2200). I've had trouble
getting the pcmica network card to work at all and was wondering what
distribution is best for old laptops?

I'm downloading 4.10 at the moment and will install it soon - but I have doubts
that my card will be even be picked up at all. Do the new distros (5.*) have
better support for old hardware?

Any suggestions appreciated.
Chris
