Trying to see if the ancient TPad A20 can be used wirelessly. This same card
worked back in the 4.x days but now in 7.0, I can't seem to get it going.
I am trying it with no authentication on an open network (it doesn't do WPA,
as best I can tell, and that's what I have in place).

I fear the card may have issues as I can't make it associate in the Leading
Brand of OS. I also have an old Lucent card of the same vintage and it't
acting the same way.
Please cc me on replies as I am not on the list.
