I'm not sure it's very possible for me either because I don't have an actual Intel wifi card to check against, so refactoring the current driver would be a non-debuggable step... Another thought that came to me is whether Sculpt VMs can do USB passthrough, and then I could run a Linux VM which will have the drivers. Is that possible? Could the network connection make it's way out of the VM? Regards, Colin
