Hello!
That's understandable.
I get around (most of) this by keeping a USB wireless chiclet on hand that IS supported in the kernel - which is pretty much anything that isn't Broadcom. I use ITS connection to download the Broadcom drivers.
The loss of speed on the 2.2 LiveDVD doesn't transfer over to the installed system - at least I haven't noticed any hit in speed on the several I've moved over to 2.2 using the upgrade script.
The only way to know for sure is to install 2.0 from its LiveDVD, check performance, install 2.2 from the LiveDVD, and see if there's any adverse difference in performance. May do this soon, just to see what happens...
