It will take me a little thought to figure out how to persuade aptitude to install this driver, but I will do so and check. As a followup, I eventually had to patch /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools to try 100 times to associate and to sleep between each one. I'd be thrilled if the new driver fixed the problem. Do you know if the new driver is compatible with a lenny kernel or if I will need another kernel?
