Maybe the bug is that dhclient is not being initiated. Take a look in 
Desktop -> Administration -> Networking and check that DHCP is set up 
correctly.

Are there any X errors reported under /var/log/ ? Are you using the 
Radeon driver?

I note this device doesn't have software mixing, so alsamixer won't do 
anything. Does it show up under Setup -> Interface when you start 
qjackctl (Jack Control)? Have you tried creating an .asoundrc file in 
your home directory?

According to this page, you have to run  usx2yloader manually too, but 
that could be out of date:

If you have no luck, I suggest trying the alsa list for some tips. 
Please let us know how you get on.

Are you the Managing Director of Global Public Markets for General 
Motors Asset Management? I guess Google isn't what it once was :-)

I know exactly what you mean ;-)
