Mm. What is an errata kernel? The driver is said to have been tested
against kernel 2.4.19 so for now I'd like to keep them in line.

I did google 'invalid frame type' and found a very similar question on
the linux-wlan list but no helpful answer. However this morning I
tried google on 'hfa384x_dowrid' and got an interesting thread
discussing the order in which things are done at boot. This begins to
make sense because the linux-wlan-ng README has this

   We don't currently create the soft-link from
   the runlevel directory to the wlan startup script because the
   distributions vary too much in this respect.  You'll need to create
   the soft-link yourself.  Just make sure it is early in the process,
   namely, before the the network interfaces are brought up.  The
   actual setup of the SSID and such is in the file /etc/wlan.conf.

and I didn't understand what this is saying. Do I have to bring up 
wlan after usb but before the network? OK, so I'll start looking at
the scripts in rc.d
