So you WERE paying attention! Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when I put the
last eCS RC I had access to on the laptop. First, it came up and jumped right
onto the network with the built in card. A first! So I pushed my luck and
stuck in the Belkin USB device, disabled the on board wireless and booted. Up
it came. Never really thought it would work, but it did. I didn't try too
much on it but it definitely got onto the LAN. I don't recall if I tried to
get a wan connection or not but I see no reason for it not to work if DHCP got
me a default address.
That's why I asked about the Linux route here. I'm hoping that GenMac has the
firmware files I need buried somewhere that I can get at.
