request advice - wireless adapter config

[Bruce Moffatt]

List

I have the wireless device working on my Linux laptop. I burned about 30 hours 
in the effort, but got there. Thank you Richard Meyer for advice and a useful 
link.

Should anyone get stuck doing a similar config I'd be happy to help.
