Do we have to install firmware, in addition to modprobing whatever 
version of the bcm43xx driver has already been included with the 
distro's kernel?  I'd tried to use the included kernel module from both 
OpenSuse and Deb Testing - neither worked.  (Something to explore on the 
web once I'm out of work today) 

The ndisrapper'ed windows kernel worked as of Saturday.  It's still 
working today -- in that I can scan access points, and can see the two 
access points in my range.  I just can't (it seems) force the settings 
into place to get into the AP.
