Hi Mikal,

:) 

I installed the Linuxant software on Mar 7th; at which point there was 
nothing on Intel's site except vapourware... I'm pleased that they've
finally come through with this. Guess it goes to show how fast things 
change :) :)

Nice. I'll probably try this driver second; I'd like to see what happens
with the Intel one first.
