I think you may be right. Having just spent the best part of two hours
futzing with both version 1.1 and the new 2.0, I have managed to get the
card to pass diagnostics with 2.0 but no response from the network. It
really is a nightmare.
I am eager to try your older driver and will let you and the list know. It
hasn't arrived yet but it's only 15 minutes since you sent your message.
Thanks for all your help here.
David
