Ahh okay, I use the external drivers.

I do have chances to test it now, as I got my wireless working again
back home. Linksys wrt54g v5 bricked (avoid those!), or so I thought it
did... stuck dd-wrt 23 SP 2 on it, and it's working VERY nicely...

Hopefully I won't keep having these issues, we'll see... but history
says I will.
