Hi Rolf,
To be honest about it, the only reason I tried to use 8.04, is that it's 
what I have available on a DVD. I haven't done an extensive search, but 
so far all I've seen out there for download is 8.04.
( I did have a different box that had a more recent version...but it 
already had a working wifi connection!) Any chance you (or someone else) 
could provide a link to something more recent?

Thanks again, Mischa.
