The wireless stuff seems to be there (for as much as I know) This is a dual boot machine. When booted as Windows XP it connects and works just fine. I see that ifconfig -a shows the right IP address. But there is a lot more info there and I don't know what values are supposed to be there.

So I think the wi stuff is compiled into the kernel. That is why I've commented out the if_wi load.
