It might not have come up yet.  The discussion ended yesterday, and
the archive is update weekly.

Yep.  90% of the cards work.  The errors the faulty cards give are nearly

You'll want to keep an eye on the -mobile mailing list.  When the
correct fix is merged back into 4-stable, install then off of a
snapshot server.

I'm just as annoyed as you; I've spent close to four months trying to
make my Netgear work in my laptop, so I'd have a portable firewall.
