Thanks for the confirmation. Just a note, the board I tried this on has a Marvel wireless chip set.

I may try pulling memory out when I put the new card in the box and test that configuration. At this point though it would just be a test as I have a wired connection to the box now. And it seems a shame to leave memory sitting on the bench. :) -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx Today's weirdness is tomorrow's reason why. -- Hunter S. Thompson
