Hi,

Firstly, thanks for your help...

I am not sure how to know the revision of the card.  I do not have physical
access to the machine, so I cannot see the card.  I am assuming "E" (I believe I
may have seen E1 on the packaging moons ago).

I can give you lspci -vv output:

01)

And here is some output from dmesg, when loading the hostap_pci driver, which
might help:

If you need info from the card or packaging, I can get it, I just need to know
which info since I will be relaying to another human.

To answer the other questions.. I am not relying on the ebuilds from gentoo, I'm 
building from the tarballs downloaded from hostap.epitest.fi/releases/.  I'm 
building the kernel from the source tarball from a kernel.org mirror, so all 
pretty standard really, no additional patches, etc.

Lastly, where might I find primary.tar.gz?

Thanks in advance,
Josh
