Thank you, Christopher.  I took a quick scan of the docs you list (well, the
atmel ones on sourcforge), and they might help.  I notice that they
talk about USB devices; mine are pcmcia (laptop) and pci (desktop).
There might be some hints here nonetheless.

I think I have wirelss-tools installed (I can bring up iwconfig,
anyway, but I don't know what to do with it!).
