The builtin card is a minipci Prism 2.

The cardbus card is a bog-standard old-style Lucent WaveLAN (with recent 
firmware). Upgrading to current appears to have completely broken both 
now (wicontrol bombs out immediately after Comms quality/signal/noise 
with a SIOCGWAVELAN: Invalid argument).

Previously wicontrol worked, but the cards did not associate.

Ben.
