I tried the driver from the manufacturer, NetGear. It was for RedHat, but I
assumed it would work in Slack. It didn't.

Oh.... ok :-)
(to clarify for the benefit of Mr. Miller, I was wrong, and admit it)
Apparently I never touched the right config files. It never messed with any
of the services I did, and I shut off all the other services. I don't do
much config of the OS itself.

As for the GUI, perhaps I have an innate sense for where people put things
in menues, I've not run into much trouble with them.

This is more of a skirmish, and you're fighting a much weaker opponent.
