Dave, Many apologies but it looks as if I'll have to do a lot of reading before I can get back to you on this. I did try editing the dat file (WirelessMode=7 so that N and G are supported). I created a sub-directory in "etc" called "Wireless" and put this dat file in there but this had no effect (after booting).
So I'll read through the driver instructions and see what I'm doing wrong.
