Take a few minutes to read over all of it to get an idea of what you're in for, because it's very detailed. There are several steps you need to do before you can simply check for the detection of the card. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/detail_desc.aspx?Product ID=1847&DwnldID=11780&agr=Y Also provides updated source for a driver and the latest Intel firmware. I found both of these links to be useful when trying to get an Intel card to work. It can indeed be done, although it is not trivial to do. Erik
