dsl on toshiba a105-s1013 laptop

I tried running the latest version od dsl (v3.3) on my laptop but it got hung up on the hardware during the boot. When I tried dsl-n (v0.3 rc4) it booted fine. I need to run ndiswrapper to get the wifi card working - Ubuntu has build in driver modules for my driver so I have become a bit 'spoiled'.
