Can't help with your problem but I know how you feel, as do most of us
who have had some blasted bit of kit refuse to work, wasted aeons on
out of date howto's etc.

To be fair to Linux, it starts from a nearly hopeless position.  Only
a suicidal hardware manufacturer would send a product to market
without a windows install disk.  In fact, if need be they tweak the
hardware to perform better under Windows because that's the amrket
where the big money is.  Linux users then reverse engineer these
products, often producing remarkable drivers that are lean and mor
estable than the manufacturer's own.  But along the way, quite a few
frustrated users get produced as well.

Someone will help you - meanwhile, keep your chin up ;-)
