The only things that came up running Ogle, Xine and Mplayer were
problems with libdvdread and too many video packets in the buffer try
using -ni option for non-interleaved (which I did) or the codec
failed.

I blacklisted bcm43xx when I was trying Ndiswrapper. Thing is the inf
file loaded fine but no hardware was detected at all. At least with
fw-cutter my hardware is being seen.

I have a button on the front that is switched to on and the little
light on the front flashes and stays on too. However, for some reason
dmesg shows that the hardware has been turned off.
