I ran thru most of this under a thread from mid April called "the 
infamous linux wifi monster strikes" including a lot of the information 
required. A number of people were quite helpful but I had to break off
with no final resolution when I got called out of town. Later this week
or early next I'll have time to readdress the problem and I'll resupply 
the information.

Thanks for the reply.
