Update: I found a message on the Google search that said that someone with
a similar problem used ndiswrapper to get the wireless to function
(withthe additional info that they had to use Fn-F2 to switch the
functionality On/Off!). Is ndiswrapper the only way to get this
working? It seems that ndiswrapper is borrowed functionality from
Windowze... I'm trying to get clear of Viet BIll, Republic of...
Any input appreciated.
