Hi Andrew

This is definately a step in the right direction.. This mail is sent 
over my ipw card which haven't been used for a month :)

My initial tests shows 2 things :

1) Firmware fails to load automatically

2) After a random period of a couple of minutes and more I get 
disconnected and a ifconfig ipw0 down up fixes it.

I'm running 802.11b on an open accesspoint with no encryption.

cheers,
Nicolai
