True, it's not a BIOS issue.  I'm on 4965AGN right now, with no BIOS
updates.  I'd find a desire to use an old kernel a less than compelling
reason to remove it.  I believe kernels from 2.6.18 are claimed to be
sufficient.

As mentioned before, I had to get an 802.11g hub, as the driver doesn't
support 11b.
