oddly, the VGA card does not seem to have a driver in use but i am able to start X and run dwm and browsers without a hitch.
thank you |

so the video card currently uses userspace driver which has been reported to work better than kernel driver (http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2008/11/29/gentoo-on-an-clamshell-ibook/). I am not sure why i am told to ignore 2 components.
my biggest problem is that the airport card that i plugged into the PCI slot of the clamshell does not appear anywhere on the lspci lists. any ideas on how I can have it recognized? Thank you for the help |

If a piece of hardware isn't on the lspci list, that means it either isn't connected correctly, or it isn't a PCI/PCIe device. |

odd but lshw command does show the card:
Code: | *-network

capabilities: ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=airport driverversion=3.2.1-gentoo-r2 firmware=Lucent/Agere 8.12 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11b
