Hi Chris,

In 2006, it would give me a list of drivers to select from, or gave me the 
option to choose the wrapper.

all I'm getting in 2007, is the wrapper option... no drop down box with any 
native drivers....

For your info, it has the Marvell 8k51 chipset.... and in 2006, I used 
mrv8k51.inf from the Windows driver CD with no problems.....

This is what HardDrake has to say about the device:

Identification
Vendor: ‎Marvell Semiconductor Inc.

Description: ‎Marvell W8300 802.11 Adapter

Media class: ‎NETWORK_ETHERNET

Connection
Bus: ‎PCI

Bus PCI #: ‎0

PCI device #: ‎16

PCI function #: ‎0

Vendor ID: ‎0x11ab

Device ID: ‎0x1fa6

Sub vendor ID: ‎0x16ab

Sub device ID: ‎0x1fa6

Misc
Module: ‎unknown

I'll have a prod and see if I can find anything on the net for it, that may be 
any good for Linux.

Cheers,

James
