2) madwifi has gone missing (that's pretty serious)

So what do we get in the retail box that we don't get between the 5 OSS CDs and the extra non-OSS CDs?
I burned a significant part of my monthly bandwidth quota to download the OSS version, and I like it and have almost everything I need so far (still busy hacking on it). I was going to buy the retail box when it finally hit our shores, but now I don't know.
madwifi is one of only a handful of things I haven't gotten around to setting up yet, and one of the reasons I buy the box - so I don't have to mess with building kernel modules...

I can't really tell you the difference. I don't really want to download all that stuff, and I like to support SuSE with my purchase. But I'll admit that the box is becoming less and less desirable. I was running 9.3 on my laptop and was waiting to bring it up to 10.1. Lots of work to do to accomplish that, including madwifi.
