Actually, I should have thought about that more. The real issue is that
the ipk avaiable for the at76c503a driver is slightly out of date w/ the
available driver source. And so it misses some of the features taht are found
there. It also does not do what I expect out of the box, like find
essids of the available APs. It can be made to do this with only a
little coaching. But it ought to do that immediately.
