The wiki (which, although it only has about three pages on it is
*already* impossible to find things on --- any chance of at least having
an index page?) says that mele_stock.bin has ethernet support but no X.

However, I've tried it and ethernet doesn't appear to work. The symptoms
I see are that the MAC address for eth0 is gibberish and the link never
comes up (i.e. link LED never lights at either end of the cable).

I've got wifi working: it requires manually installing the following
packages:

    libdbus-1-3
    libnl-3-200
    libnl-genl-3-200
    libpcsclite1
    wpasupplicant

...and then adding a stanza like this to /etc/network/interfaces:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid "Your SSID here"
    wpa-psk your_key_here
