Ill pull these in within the next hour and float some tests across the
bow overnight to see what happens.

Ah must of been someone else then. Nonetheless it was adapted and
committed to the sources within a weeks time and worked perfectly. And
the email I had wrote to <mystery committee> was answered within an hour
that I had wrote it, so due to that I owe anyone working on this card a
debt of gratitude and any tests that need to be run.

On a side note I have another little nifty device that has been inactive
for over a year now that does not have a associated driver that I have
not gotten around to fixing up yet. I have the win drivers for this but
its a USB device and does not work with NDIS.

I am thinking this is just one of those quirks but like I said, I
haven't had the time to really get into it since I already have multiple
other means to use for wireless. I'd love to be able to use this as a
permanent scanning device though.

Ive tried a few different things with this device that failed to work so
anybodies guess is better than mine right now.

I have attached a dump_all_config_desc for this device in case anyone
can identify it. Linksys WUSB54G
