If DSL was able to load up, then Mint shouldn't have any trouble at all either. Try re-writing the cd with the lowest possible burn speed, sometimes this can help a ton.
These kinds of "Use Linux via Windows" things are great for checking out Linux, but bugs like yours seem to be a common problem. The only thing I found odd about your lspci is that your wireless card is for some reason listed as an ethernet controller.

Re: Problems with mint...sound,wifi,booting
If sound works through your headphones, then Linux is probably set up correctly to use your sound-hardware, you may want to play with Volume settings, but I do not know much about Sound troubleshooting in Linux, so I can't help you too much.
You mentioned some kind of problems with wifi in your thread title, what exactly are they? Your lspci seems to show that Linux has detected your wireless card.

Ok, try running
if you see any strings that say Network then after that DISABLED, look down a few lines to where it will say
Logical Name: "Xxxxx"
Now, run this
Code: Select all
sudo lshw
Logical Name: "Xxxxx"
Now, run this
Code: Select all
sudo ifconfig "xxxxx" up[code] No quotes in the command.
Re: Problems with mint...sound,wifi,booting
pan0 is suppose to be disabled.
You should have ath0 for wireless and eth0 for wired.
You may want to try using gnome-network-admin or wicd for setting up your wireless.
For sound maybe your volume controls are messed up.
Example:
Headphones Volume = Front Speakers
Laptop Speakers Volume = Surround Speakers
You could try editing /ect/modprobe.d/alsa-base:(back up before editing):or
