Thanks, and this is very encouraging, but, BUT, will this work with
the Intel 5300 (AGN) that my T500 has installed?  The man page for
iwn(4) lists the 5100 but not the 5300.  I am not familiar enough
with this Intel hardware to know if they are close enough to each
other (work-alikes) for the iwn(4) driver.

This might be worth my trying (to rebuild my kernel) this weekend
if I get the chance.  Thanks again!   :-)
