In the interim, I got my wireless light to light up, but still cannot
connect through the wireless. My router is a Microsoft Broadband
Networking MN-700. Is that my problem? I have looked for drivers for
it. The ones I found were .exe files and I couldn't do anything with
them in Heron. Do I need drivers for it?

I think I need to try redoing my wireless network and see if that helps.
