   Loaded the two packages, did a mkinitrd and fiddled with the network   
   configuration.  It's all working now.  There's this nit with it asking for the   
   root password to connect to the router, I'll have to resolve that.

   Since this said nothing about Broadcom...I did nothing to it.  I guess I'll   
   have   
   to wander the streets looking for a USB WiFi dongle based on the Atheros   
   chipset.
