As Craig already mentioned a more current distribution will help.
Alexander has various CDs available at the InstallFest, so he can provide
something more current for the install.
I think he and Dennis also make the CDs available for purchase, but you don't
need them once you have GNU/Linux installed and a network connection.

You might also just try booting with either a Knoppix or Ubuntu Live CD
and see if the cards are supported by them. Those CDs should also be on
hand at the InstallFest.
