MIne (or rather, my client's) isn't doing now.  We have proved that it can 
work.  But I still can't restart the laptop and find that wireless is 
working.  I still have to fiddle, and then fiddle some more.  And there is 
still a dns problem that I still haven't solved. (NM still isn't setting it 
properly).  Perhaps I should go back to wicd - but that wasn't working. :-(

I wonder whether it would be worth using a different kernel.  I hadn't thought 
of that.  I think that there is a kernel upgrade in the wings.  Next thing to 
investigate anyway.
