I've actually asked Marcelo to back out to the 2.4.18 version because there has been one report of a transceiver selection failure with the 2.4.19-pre8 driver. The thing's totally fragile, I'm afraid. It supports 32 different devices, of which I have five. If you change anything, you break something, and for some types of cards it takes months before you hear about the breakage. -
