Thanks.  I ususally stay a nice distance away from the bleeding edge, I'll 
have to investigate.

I'm a bit of a wireless newbie.  Do you mind me asking whether it is likely to 
support being an access point?  I noticed that in general cards don't work as 
access points, is it a chipset limitation or is it just a whole load of work 
for something that is not much in demand?

I think I'll sidestep the access point issue by getting a wireless router.

Thanks again,

Pete
