Hell, I'm still a newbie, and I've learned a lot from others who still call themselves newbies.

Anyway, don't take it to heart if you don't get an answer. By my estimation, there seem to be a bunch of wi-fi autodetection issues floating around. If you poke around, you'll see that I have one of my own that has gone unanswered for about a month now. I don't think it's because of jerks that it's gone unanswered - I think it's an issue of people help if they can, but sometimes they don't know. I have found one issue with the 2.6.6 kernel autodetection, which I have posted before, and which I have also placed in the bug list as item #4. It appears that, at least with my driver, autodetection is looking for the driver with the 2.6.6 files, and it's really in with the 2.4 drivers. I don't know how to remaster, and I'm not yet ready to try dual booting again, so I'm hoping that the bug gets addressed with the next release, and using ethernet in the meantime. Hopefully, now that LinuxTAG is over, some of the folks who work on the releases will have time to review the buglist and issue a release.

I'd help more if I could. I think you'll find that most people here are pretty nice and try to help.
