Thanks to both people who pointed this out. This module wasnt loaded by default
but it worked with modprobe, so i put it into
/etc/modules and its working now.
The one problem is that i dont see any sign of my 802.11n network. Its only
seeing the 2.4GHz G network. A Ubuntu machine with an Intel 5100
AGN card does see the 5GHz network. But this is probably a different problem so
i will play with it for a bit an ask again in the right thread.
Thanks!
Jen.
