I tried it with both an Ethernet adapter (realtek) and a pci sound card (Creative SoundBlaster.) The Ethernet adapter works fine with both live-cd (slax) and hd-install (archlinux) but I can't get the the soundcard to work with alsa on archlinux. However, as it does play when using /dev/dsp2 strait, this is possibly a different problem. I guess I'll go ask on the madwifi mailing list.

To read the > Wiki you would think it's open source... My guess is that they're not to proud of that detail... Any way, I had forgotten about that. I suppose my 'same results with two different drivers' reasoning melts away with that. Thanks, Matthew Marshall
