Sorry can not help.

But I total bypass this issue all together, I would cheat as such.  I 
would use a device such as Wireless Bridge unit,  In fact I already do 
this with my PS2 instead of have wires all over my pad.  I use a Linksys 
WAP54G unit rather cheap.  Well it is Access Point but can be configured 
to work as Wireless Bridge, it also cheaper then buying a Wireless Bridge.

OK to spell it out to you, form Wireless Bridge it use a slandered 
Ethernet cable to computer network card.  No drivers to worry about that 
way, ever.
