I plugged it into my x64 system and it found a driver. [The Airlink 101
items I've bought thus far have had 64 drivers to my amazement.]
Netstumbler can't use it. The supplied site survey software works.
I'll have to test it on my own system since all my neighbors have
turned on encryption. [That wasn't always the case. ;-)]

Next up is to put a small RF connector on it. [The B mode is 50mw. Not
too shabby.]
