Albert,

Thanks for the suggestions.

However the bge driver doesn't want to configure properly with the wired
ethernet.

And the ndiswrapper doesn't seem to work properly in 64-bit mode, which I
need to support my 1.5TB usb drives.

So I went looking for mini-pci-e cards that were natively supported. Found
one using the Intel chipset, but upon taking the dell zino apart I find that
I needed a half-size card, and the one I purchased was a full size. Rats!

Any way, I went thru the driver compatibility list again, looking for
natively supported chipsets, and found a half-size Atheros AR9385 from hong
kong. So I'll be waiting some more before I can get my zino on the network.
