In this case, the 21041 model is also listed, though I tend to run a quick Google search on the PCI ID, just to be sure. Hello Lewis: I do but had forgotten that there is easy access to a list of corresponding hardware in GenMAC. This one is listed as an Intel NIC. I had this listed to install previously but could never connect to/through it. It is again being shown on boot to be installed. I guess I need to run XWlan to see if I can have it connect. Again, Mark, you should have no trouble with either of these cards. Download and install GenMAC 2.20 base driver package along with the Atheros driver package from http://genmac.netlabs.org/en/site/downloads.xml . During the boot there is a flashing message "NO VALID HARDWARE FOUND FOR THIS DRIVER" or something equally deadend. So, it's found by a bus sniffer but not by the driver? I would have expected something more detailed from the driver such as 'hardware found but not responding.' More thoughts? I would consider taking this to the GenMAC group; but, things have been pretty non- productive there lately. Thank you, - Mark Mark Henigan --
