Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds good. I have saved it in my
"Cheatsheet" file - a plain text file that I can open with anything and
where I save instructions that I know sometime I will need. Next time I
am at the university and lose my DHCP lease I will surely try it.

It is now morning and my head is working better. It occurs to me that
there might be a later driver than what I am using. However, I don't
know how to find out what driver I have or what the latest version is.
If I do "lsmod" it just gives me "iwl4965." Is there a way to get lsmod
to tell me more details, or a different command that will tell me what
version I have?
