Is no one responding because
(1) I've overwhelmed the reader with too much information,
(2) no one feels qualified to help,
(3) there is no one knowledgeable (with enough time to spend) on this forum,
or
(4) I'm such a n00b that I'm not worth helping?

Hardware, Wifi's and Drivers A more active forum would definitely help elive take off. The distro which apparently is unspeakable (as whenever I write it in the forum it changes to "hackuna matata") has a lot of support which helps people new to linux, but even though they are both debian-based, the ubuntu forums don't exactly help me configure elive.
I would really love to see linux become the OS of the f

Off topic az-s-za: have you been able to figure out the problem?
I don't know if my problem is similar to yours, but I was able to get wireless running fine in debian, but can't get it to work in elive. The ipw3945 module/driver/whatever isn't loading during boot for me either.
I seem to recall Thanatermesis saying something about intentionally taking ipw3945 out of elive because

Hardware, Wifi's and Drivers Another additional tidbit of information: since I have the original chipset and not rev B, I have uninstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome, as per the instructions here:

Hardware, Wifi's and Drivers I should add that I was able to get the wireless connection working in debian, so it would seem that I should be able to get it working with elive. There was something I did to make it work, but I don't remember what it was. I remember it being trivial, though.

Hardware, Wifi's and Drivers I'm using a RaLink chipset that uses an rt61 driver:
# lspci | grep Ra
04:09.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61
802.11g PCI
The kernel module for the driver appears to be properly installed:
# lsmod | grep rt61
rt61 221064 0
# modinfo rt61
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-elive/extra/rt61.ko

Hardware, Wifi's and Drivers As per Thanatermesis' suggestion in an email, I've tried multiple brands of CD-R and multiple CD burners just in case our burners or my reader are the issue. I've now tried Fujifilm CD-Rs, CorporateExpress CD-Rs, and Memorex CD-Rs, burned from the drives on my OSX laptop, the Windows XP desktop, and the drive in my linux box (which I bought because it had great reviews). All the

[OLD] - Installed Mode The md5sum checks out on the .iso file, so it seems that the download was fine. The liveCD part works fine, but when I go to install, it hangs halfway through (as in, the progress bar stops moving and solitaire won't work anymore).
The installer says that the CD doesn't check out well when I test it at the beginning of the install, but I've tried to install anyway because I
