Yeah, I saw that. Except I have quite a few machines that shipped with 
the RT2561 wireless card (not my choice). I can't ask to replace these 
by something better supported, because I know the answer will be "no". 
And according to the forum on http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com, the driver 
developers find it perfectly normal that the driver freezes with SMP 
enabled in the kernel... and expect you to build a kernel without it.

Unfortunately I have no programming skills, so I have to do with that. I 
know it's a PITA.

Yeah, that looks pretty nice. I'll see what it looks like in daylight. 
Gotta sleep.
