Hi Tom,

I hope my post isn't lost in the flood of replies to your question.

When you put "USB", "wireless", and "Linux" in the same sentence, it's
probably not going to be easy.  I had quite a struggle getting the USB
wireless module (Prism 2) built into my Shuttle XPC box to work under the
2.6 kernel.  Pure tenacity eventually won out.

Do it.  Somebody may send you a tee-shirt announcing the accomplishment.
