Thanks for the two replies confirming my suspicions. I shall either have
to rework my entire network or sort out an alternative card - hmm :(
For my next challenge I'll be trying to get a desktop hooked up to the
wireless network using Ubuntu and only a single (wireless) network card.
Sounds like I'll be having fun with the USB key trying to get the
necessary extra packages onto it - either that or opening the case to
install a standard NIC and running a cable across the house temporarily!
