If there are, they aren't on the web sites that I have looked at (from
the vendor of the card and the PC).

It's alright, though; I wound up just running wires. The only driver
that works correctly can't be used/controlled by NetworkManager. It's a
native one written by the company (and available on their site). The
(beta!) driver currently shipping with Ubuntu doesn't work at all unless
the PC has been in Windows Vista for an init first, though. Or using
the older Linux driver. But, all of that is just too much a hassle.

I'd love to help with development, if only I knew how on these issues.
