That's good news.  The hangs are a bit troubling though.  I can't tell
what was used as the source of documentation for this driver, but if it
was the Linux drivers, that may be an issue.  My Cisco rep said the
Aironet people don't want anything to do with the current Linux drivers
and don't recommend them at all.  They are supposidly going to release a
new Linux driver around the first of the year.
