Hi again DP!

Mike, Andy, and Mikkel are much more expert than myself.  From thier
reply (which I do hope you got):

Ditto... as Mike says on the page on recent kernels you can ignore the
ieee80211 stack update business.  I would start over using Mike's
reference but ignoring the ieee80211 stuff altogether.

The link and it's references look like gold for anyone doing what you
are (I feel it is in my future).

I regret distracting you and hope you do find success.

Good Hunting!
