I booted the Dapper Flight 3 CD and got part way through the
installation. The Broadcom chip was detected and the bcm43xx driver
(which is already in dapper) was loaded. I was unable to get the
network configuration to work however (it didn't appear to recognize
my router). Additionally, I couldn't get past the disk partitioning
and setup stage as it kept returning me to the same screen.
There is hope, at least!
