I have a USB wifi from the wholesaler Protac. (available at various retailers for prob around $50) Anyway, I have just received an updated driver from the suppliers. The card is a WLB 1403. (I emailed the manufacturer, they sent the orig driver, then I thanked them: & they sent the new driver...pays to be polite!) If anyone wants the driver, (it is atmelwlandriver-ss-20040212.tar.gz) I could email it I guess, or it is probably googleable.
