"- Marvell wireless -- supposedly D-Link used this on a card called the
  DWL-G510, but only on the first revision."

So if I understood you correctly, all I needed to do was to ask if the
one they are selling was "first revision".

This was my understanding based on the info you provided above. Sorry, my
mistake.

Interesting, I'm running it on one of the 2 Compaq + Netflex-2 boxes as
I speak. Looks as though I'll have to wait until you finish it. So that I
can coerce it for my (others?) needs as well.

P.S. The offer for the IP and remote box was not contingent on you doing
the Netflex-2 card. But I suppose it wouldn't be of much use except to test
a card in it. Just trying to help.

Best wishes.
