Hey, Gregory:

Let's keep it real simple for now. Main problem of the moment is to get 
him connected to the internet. The rest can wait. He want's to compile a 
newer kernel with the newer speakup. I can understand that. So, he needs 
an ethernet card and a physical connection to his gateway plus the logical 
layers/data. Samba and masquarding he can get later.
