Mark, |

Well I went into the section that shows one's hardware, drivers, etc. in |
| 16 |
the live CD for Arch Linux (didn't take notes, so don't remember the |
| 17 |
exact term for it) & DID look like the Ralink & the ethernet adaptor |
| 18 |
(Qualcomm Atheros) had drivers recognized... I wasn't prepared to try to |
| 19 |
connect to anyplace from in the shell, so I will try that too (as I |
| 20 |
can). & will let you know (how it goes, if it does). |

It does look like having uptodate drivers are most probably (among) the |
| 23 |
problem solvers (i.e., this problem is likely solvable). I also have |
| 24 |
burned the "latest" snapshot minimal Gentoo install, which I have not |
| 25 |
yet tried, which I will do, too. |
