Broadcom WIFI >>> This is the netcard equivelent of a winmodem. It's software driven. See if you can get it working with ndiswrapper, but I don't hold out a lot of hope. I have an Airlink+ card with the same chipset, and can't coax it into working for my life. Grab a real netcard, something with a Prism or Orinco chipset, you'll be happier with it's performance, anyway.
In order to use the MyDSL gui, you have to have a working connection. And the packages aren't normal tarballs, they are fully compiled and functional apps that have simply been compressed using tar and gzip.
PLEASE do not try to install a tarball with MyDSL. It will break a lot of stuff.
The touchpad can be made to work by installing the Xfree86.dsl from the testing area.
The usb mouse can be made to work by typing "dsl xsetup" at the boot prompt, or running xsetup.sh in an hdinstall. Select your preferred X server and the USB mouse option.
Recompiling the kernel?
Short answer is you can't.
Long answer is, it's a custom kernel from Knoppix 3.4. The patches that were applied were available on the Knoppix site before 3.4 became a depreciated version. Now, you cannot even download the 3.4 iso, much less the patches needed to take the 2.4.26 kernel to be the 2.4.26-knoppix kernel.

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
