Final FYI on this topic.

On Gutsy, wireless works aok. I left the ethernet cable plugged in to
do the initial updates, but as soon as I unplugged it, clicked on the
network manager, and selected my network, wireless came right up.
Gutsy is smart enough to install the restricted modules automatically,
but of course you still get the Debian style NASTY NASTY warning when
you boot.

I'm installing xubuntu-desktop through the wireless now.

Thanks to all who chose to play this exciting game <grin>.
