Thanks for the offers of PCI NICs - pretty sure I have at least 2 in
the box on the shelf just above my computer so I will resort to that
if I have to.
But my wifi is working so I'm good for now. And here in the new house
I don't have the final cables laid yet either so "hard-wired" right
now only goes to an old wifi router running DD-WRT in bridge-mode to
the house wifi.
Once I finally get the cables laid if I don't have my problem solved
I'll be reaching for one of those NICs. Pretty sure one of them is
even still new in the box!
