Having done the above it looked like I'd got my wireless working and 
just needed to configure it.  However, I'm having no joy.  I've read 
the man pages for iwconfig, ifconfig and iwlist and done everything I 
think I should do but I get nothing back.

I then tried using system-config-network, at which point my LAN and all 
my USB connected devices (keyboard/mouse which was a pain) stopped 
working.

It looks like  it's a config problem because the IRQ and addresses seem 
wrong. Win XP reports it as IRQ 18 and address ffe60000-ffe6ffff while 
ifconfig reports irq9 and addresses e08a0000-e08b0000 and 
'cat /proc/pci' reports IRQ 9 and addresses  0xd4010000 [0xd401ffff]

(WinXP works)

I've googled to try to find out how to force the XP reported values but 
have failed, but hane found places where a countycode is supplied.  Can 
someone help me here, and if countrycode is required, what code do I 
need for the UK?
