Intel/Pro Wireless 3945ABG working! now slow :(

[Jason Nordwick]

Thanks for all the help, but this didn't help at all. It is either  
slow or I get a page of no route to host messages from ping when  
trying to ping my wireless router (and it does support 11g). I think  
their might be a syntax error on one of the lines you gave me, but I'm  
going to just try and run either -current or -stable. (I used to track  
current daily, so this doesn't bother me too much).

Can I install a snapshot release from the ftp site? Sysinstall seems  
to be having problems finding the snapshots from Main this morning.
