I would like to thank brooks for the advice, I had just purchased a Linksys WDT11(PCI adapter with the big old PLX chip on it) and WPC11 Wireless NIC and following his advice below added this line to the pci_ids array {0x16ab, 0x1102, "Linksys WDT11 PCI IEEE 802.11b"}, right before the {0 ,0 "NULL"} line which was around line 215, i am running 4.5RC2 installed this morning, recompiled to kernel and issued wicontrol -p 3 on both my laptop and workstation assigned some ip's an viola, of course I had to hammer the link with bing and let it run for about 5 minutes and got a little better than 4Mps throughput, anyways, point is it works , and thanks again Brooks.
