Hi, Thanks for the pointers from Gustin and others.
After some reading on how modules work and other details I beat on my rt install. I got the networking, both wireless and wired working. To be honest I don't think I did anything to fix this, I think it might have been impatience for this issue. As for the nvidia display. I got it working after installing the nvidia-glx-new. Installing this didn't seem to screw up my generic install, I was pleased. At first it didn't fix anything, still only 800x600... During reboot, it displayed a warning about being in low res and manual config was required. So I did, selecting the nividia 8 series and it finished the boot...still only 800x600. After about the third reboot and warning, I then selected not only the nvidia driver but also the Dell laptop display. First reboot, no joy. Then another reboot/select and there it was beautiful hi-res. Not sure what exactly fixed it.
