I did a fresh install from and up-to-date mirror of the repo.  I *presume* 
that is pretty much fully up-to-date.  I did not check for Additional drivers.

Note: the O/S sees the adapter and the adapter sees the wireless AP and in 
fact the adapter is talking to the wireless AP and the wireless AP is logging 
its connections...  This is rather strange.  My usual experience with WiFi is 
that either the board is not seen at all.  Or possibly the board does not see 
any SSIDs.
