Hmm, this seems to be even worse. It isn't a Broadcom chipset at all,
clearly a major change for the v4 card :( From what I can find Inprocomm
have been bought up by somebody else and they would never release a
Linux driver or even chipset specs for the card, so it is ndiswrapper or
nowt. Given that I guess ndiswrapper may well get wpa working on the
3com card if I'm going to have to head that way anyway. Maybe another
card would be best - one that works out of the box would be ideal!!

This appears to have been badly worded, dad was in hospital for a while,
then days after he came out my wife was taken in unexpectedly for a
while. My dad is recovering now, things still up in the air with Dawn.
Neither of the kids have been in hospital. I won't go further into
things and bore people, suffice it to say I'm worn out, but still
standing - just.
