I don't think this is the same version as what I am playing with (the files in
the archive have 5-1-01 dates). However, I'd still like to know what version
your driver reports itself
as at boot time? Either a /V is needed after the BASEDEV statement or you need
to hunt around the file with a hex editor. I'd like to know which one you're
having good luck with.

I agree with using what works - see my other e-mail about the kind of quirks I
was
experiencing. I think your 2940U is very much like my 2920C except maybe for
the supplied connector complement. The version that reports itself as 2.3 is
what works for me (so far).
