Thanks for all of the information about the headers and reporting of
the information between the different OSs.  I was not aware of it.

This could be an interesting scenario, that you may choose to not help
me with, but it's a hackintosh.  It's 10.6.1 and I'm using an Atheros
5212 card.  I can help dig up some more information about the driver
if you give me some pointers for it.

Thanks!
