Paula .... Thanks for talking this one through in such detail. I've saved it for future reference. I know what you mean about the problems getting the driver in the first place. A couple or three years ago I bought a wifi dongle and had to compile a module. There were four different drivers I found on the internet for this chipset, and only one of them worked. Next kernel update, the module would not compile because of a deprecated function that had been removed in a GCC update so I had to re-write a couple of lines in the source. The following kernel update incorporated the wifi chipset so I haven't had to bother since, but it was a pain at the time.
