I found some people with problems when I was googling around but most 
were older posts.  I sort of figure things got fixed and that is why I 
was not finding anything recent.  I would really not want to buy this 
stuff and then find out the chipset wasn't supported for some reason or 
other.

I would assume then that the 770 is fine since the one you have is newer 
and works fine.

Thanks for the info.
