Thanks Hads and Nick - that was exactly what I needed. Adept was only reporting the older module version as being available, a little googling soon found the one that matches my kernel and getting the .deb file installed was a piece of cake.
I've done a modprobe and got the card functioning last night - well almost. Both lights come on, dmesg is reporting the correct card, chipset and speed options. Great learning, now I understand modules much better! I'm not quite there - it goes looking for my router but doesn't get an ip address. That's for sorting out tomorrow maybe, I've got a few things to check out, and I'll start a new thread if I can't get it sorted. Thanks very much to everyone who helped me get here.
