I tried upgrading the card on my boss's windows 98 laptop, and almost fried it: the upgrade code wouldn't work without drivers loaded, and then after I loaded the drivers, it complained that the machine wouldn't be able to talk to the card after the upgrade, because the drivers were newer than 7.52. I assumed this was the "at your own risk" David spoke of on the airsnort site and, when the failed upgrade proved not to have smoked the card, decided to put that off. Anyone *recently* do an upgrade to 7.52 who can comment on how that upgrade goes?

I *am* getting that stuff, though it doesn't make it out of dmesg (I think my sysklogd might be confused), but I *don't* see the usage bump. The only think I think I'd be running, though, is named. I'll try the upgrade again. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
