Thanks for the replay Ben. What I've found so far. There are apparently
two cards one for wired and another for wireless. The wireless is a
Broadcom BCM 4310 UART. The hardware poll says the device name is sit0
but when I type ifup sit0 it says there is no configuration file for
sit0. I think he's going to have to bring it back after I've had some
time to study it. Thanks everyone.
