Fresh Hardy install, wireless PC card not found, "Hardware Info" menu item missing

[Bob Jonkman]

Hi all:  Did a clean install of Hardy on an IBM Thinkpad 770X (circa 
1999: Pentium II 300 MHz, 320 MByte RAM, 8 GByte HD).

The DLink DWL-610 PCMIA wireless network card isn't discovered, so no 
network is available (it was fine under Gutsy).  

The Help file says to go to "System > Preferences > Hardware 
Information", but that menu entry doesn't exist!  I've been to "System 
> Preferences > Main Menu" to see if it was just unchecked, but it's 
not there either!

I ran "System > Administration > Hardware Testing" and it sees the 
hardware as a "DLink DWL-510 2.4 GHz Wireless Adapter".

I followed the Help File instructions and typed "sudo lshw -C network", 
which lists:

  *-network UNCLAIMED
      description: Ethernet controller
      product: DWL-510 2.4 GHz Wireless Adapter
      vendor: D-Link Systems Inc.


What to do?

(and I have the 800x640 max resolution problem too; this is a 1024x768 
screen.  Jay Stapleton's suggestion of "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh 
xserver-xorg" didn't help)

--Bob.
