Well for one slackware didn't teach me that, and for two the driver was freely 
available on the linksys web site under drivers/linux.

And what I mean by more control is that if I go into SuSE and I start editing 
my config files like I do in slackware then Yast goes and overwrites what 
I've done...I have to go in and do everything through a GUI which in my 
opinion takes longer. That's just personal opinion mostly but I feel more in 
control when I can just peek at the config file and tweak what I feel needs 
to be tweaked rather than clicking a button in a GUI that changes several 
lines in a config file one of which I may not have wanted changed.

sorry didn't mean to start a distro war :/
