It did show up in the scan interface in XP, however, at work.  One thing
I had to do to connect was specify the MAC address somewhere in the
bowels of the Network Connections interface.  But I didn't see any
access points in linux.

I'm told Windoesn't know how to get the MAC address from the device, but
that seems odd.  Would linux know that, using the same driver, or is
there a way to specify the local MAC address?
