Does anybody know how to get the new-ish-er open source drivers for Linux? I know they aren't totally fixed, but if it works better than the ones I have installed (which don't work at all), I'll be happier.
 
Which distro are you using? Depending on what you have, you should be able to yum or apt-get a driver package for networking devices.
 
Mint 10
 
Do you have internet on the PC or not? If not you might have to grab the drivers on the PC then put them on a USB drive, cause obviously, apt-get requires internet.
 
I can get Windows to connect using wireless, and Linux to connect if I move it to the living room and get a wired connection.
