For reasons I can't understand, I haven't found a USB-stick distro yet (that I can get to boot) that supports Velocity, VIA's onboard NIC. No distro is of any use to me without this driver, so I hope I find it in the next version of DSL. Thanks!

I have a couple of Via motherboards. Both of their onboard NICs work fine with DSL.

Which board are you using?

I'm using the Abit AV8. The Velocity driver comes standard with 2.6 kernels, and I think it may not with 2.4, but it's certainly available.
