Morning Nigel.  I reloaded my laptop with Sidux, and apparently these guys 
have something good going on.  I now have better sound (still a little 
popping and stuff in games), and my Wireless starts up when the pc starts up, 
and I can print to my Brother printer.  I'm going to install hotplug so that 
I don't have to set and wait for the thing to realize the wired NIC isn't 
plugged in.  We'll see how that goes.
