I mentioned the test because it's in the handbook. :-) As far as I
    know, it means I got one of the command line arguments right. Of
    course it doesn't mean I got them all right, and it doesn't mean
    the card works, but all my other wireless devices are either
    broken, or plug into my laptop. So that woefully inadequate test
    is the best I can do ...
