No luck. The kernel sorta seems to recognize the card and all -- at least
there's an interface in the kernel now called "ath0" -- but I can't even
activate it in the "Networking" tool. When I activate it, it is
immediately deactivated again. :-(

I've found /etc/network/interfaces and am going to try to make sure I have
all the options in there that I need, but my feeling is that something
more fundamental is wrong -- there actually doesn't seem to be any
connection between interface ath0 and the hardware (the card). Does that
make any sense?

Best,
Tim
