[ltp] At a Standstill with 770z

[Jon Flanders]

Well, I have made a little progress on the wireless end of things. By
running "old linux" which is the Mdk 9.2, 2.4xx kernel, the Belkin card
is recognized. 

Its not seen in the control center, so that trying to load a driver
doesn't seem to work, but still this is progress from "unsupported card
in slot 1".

I also learned that there is a bug in the mdk 2.6 kernel download(2.6.3)
version that shuts off the sockets. So back to 2.4xx for now.

Here is the output of some cardctl commands. What next?
