It's kinda one of those things where more information would just muddy |

the waters ;) |

However, the fedora live cd navigates it fine. I repeat this to make |
| 13 |
clear that the depth of the issue should shallow, or at least this is |
| 14 |
my belief. |

Because I use the Asus WL-330g, it has to use specific NIC, in this |
| 22 |
case the built-in NIC, the SiS, since that's what it's configured for. |
| 23 |
I'll look into it. |

yes, both wired. |

good. this is a major point from my point of view: this is *not* a |
| 51 |
driver issue? |

Thanks, yes. From Linux (gentoo or fedora) it doesn't even appear to |
| 73 |
be a wireless conection to my knowledge. I'll try that modprobe and |
| 74 |
will get back to the list. |

ps: I used the live cd, 2006, on a different box (different |
| 90 |
motherboard) with the same Asus WL-330g wireless bridge device |
| 91 |
thing-a-ma-jig in the past. worked fine. This is a different NIC, |
| 92 |
but...I might try the 2006 CD, too. |
