That the same driver I need for that WiFi card I had with me on Thursday.
I did get it to work under 2.4.x - but a friend has.  However that driver
as been re-written and is in the 2.6 kernel - but I'm finding it unstable.
The machine keeps crashing when it is in after a while (mostly after the
card is removed).  Using a LAN PCMCIA card the machine is as stable as
a rock.

BTW I will not be around next week.  I got posted to a customers site
to do some testing next week.  So I will not be around to pick up that
ADSL modem (or have my little chat with Nik).  It will have to be
the week after.
