Hi, me again :)

The airo_mpi driver appears to be working great.  iw* (including
iwconfig) seem to be working perfectly.  Now I am just trying to get
gnome's Wireless Link Monitor to work correctly.  It just shows a big
"N/A" no matter if eth1 or wifi0 is selected.  Is this a driver issue
(not all extensions?) or more likely just me.

Special thanks to Fabrice Bellet for putting this driver together.

Thanks,
dan
