Well, I know you're right - but as one of the things I tried was
removing the Linux drivers and trying out the Windows one under
ndiswrapper.  The problem was identical, so I suspect I would see the
same problem under WOS.  ('Windows operating system', pronounced with a
hard 's' like the 's' in 'was'). If I had lots of time to waste, I'd
install Windows on the Mini 10v just to find out, but I'm not willing to
waste hours and hours.  I do remember installing Windows, and my blood
pressure won't stand it again.

And I agree with all your comments.  I bought the Mini 10v because it
came with pre-loaded Ubuntu, and I'm actually still very pleased with
it.

Regards,		Barry.
