Also it took me a few hours to get it working with a Linksys card 
(ndiswrapper only in linux) by manually entering IP settings.

Someone just gave me a 'working'- one (XP sees a card but not the one I 
downloaded the G650 driver for).  I compiled ath_pci.o but insmod lists 
unresolved symbols ieee... etc. I first used pcmcia start to insert the 
usual modules, then manually inserted cb_enabler.o, then ath_pci.o. 
Should I put this all into pcmcia config instead?

The other card acted the same either way.  pci=biosirq during boot did not 
help fix the IRQ problem.
