The wireless network card was not supported. When I tried to use ndiscvt I just got an error saying if_ndis.ko could not be loaded. It is the linksys wmp54gv4 pci card. The issue that would get you is when I compiled x, startx failed about not being able to init fonts. I am sure that could have been easily fixed, but for my brother the killer was wireless. Other than that it was smooth, be sure to read /ports/UPDATING about lib changes.
