So, I got the new if_wi.c version 1.47.

Same problems.  Probes card, works fine, dies horribly if the airport
card goes off line or comes on line.

I've traded email with a couple of people at D-Link, and they may be
willing to try to help, but I doubt they *can* help.

So, at this point:

Does anyone know anything else about this gizmo?  Anyone have links?
If nothing else, anyone want to add the patches I *do* have working
that make the cards get this far?  With these, it's possible to use the
card for hours at a time, as long as the network is stable.  :)
