I have a laptop with an Intel 5100 wifi adapter in my laptop. (I think it is 5100, might be a 5300 if I ordered the other option, but either way the same driver should work?) I loaded the Beta-2 live CD, but was unable to get this to function. Nothing in dmesg even indicated that the adapter is detected. Is there something I can do to the live CD to make this work? Do I need to do a full install and enable something? I have been unable to find much about this by searching, apparently Daniel is working on support. It seems that the iwn driver could work, but I can't find any status. I'd offer to help write the support if I could find enough documentation on how this card works (I haven't done much driver work, but I think I could), so pointers in that direction would be welcome too. I'm not subscribed (yet) so please CC me on all replies.
