I have 1.33 here, so i should upgrade.

BTW: I'm connecting here two PC's (5-current, 4.8) with 2 Netgear Cards 
(MA401 and MA311) and it works great!

The only two problems I had:
- on the current Box I had to set the speed manualy otherwise I get from 
wicontrol:
wicontrol: SIOCGWAVELAN: Invalid Argument
- It looks like the interface is shutdown implicitely if the carrier was
lost, so I had to "ifconfig wi0 up" to re-establish the connection,

bye,
