Bob,
Had any more luck with this card? If you haven't already, do have a go
using ndiswrapper (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net) as they are
reporting success with this chipset. You've bought the card so it is
worth a go. (sorry for the delay in replying, I was looking for a card
-unsuccessfully- to try this out on).
cheers
Robin
