Sigh. I don't want to know what chipsets my WiFi devices contain, as the problem of the manufacturer changing the chipset while keeping the same version number (the issue which started this thread) has never actually bitten me. I was however interested from a purely academic point of view to know if it is possible to determine the chipset either from documentation or by use of some application. > BTW - I know how to get this information.

And I know where to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but you are not a nice man so I am not going to tell you. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
