Backticks! .... Doh!.... I knew that....

Sorry chaps. In my defence I must just say that I suffer from the -
sadly all too common - affliction of being cerebrally challenged with a
concomitant lack of cognitive storage and recall abilities. (More
commonly known as being slack-jaw-stupid). I have tried the remedy of
repeatedly banging my head against the monitor but unfortunately,
according to my doctor, this is unlikely to help and may even make
matters worse. It certainly didn't solve my Internet connectivity
problem.

It's just as well therefore that there are people on this list not
suffering from this affliction because - with backticks in place - I was
able to get an up to date version of the driver (and thanks too to Jörg
for sending me the files) which does indeed solve my problem (the
Internet connectivity one that is - sadly there is no cure for my
stupidity problem).

Incidentally - I have also booted into Windows and switched back into
Linux (I did a cold restart as always however) and it worked just fine.

Thanks to all.
