Is lsusb not available in the 2.4 system?
DO NOT DROP the wireless list from the Cc. Doing so converts the exchange back
to a private one, and I will ignore further messages if you do that. It is also
better if you bottom post. That way a reader can go through the background material.
The 2.4 driver used its own built-in softmac 802.11 stack. Mac80211 is a
replacement for it. Although mac80211 has a great deal more functionality, they
generally do the same things.
