   20160516git-5.2-noarch is what's installed.  As to a later package...I dunno,   
   or   
   even where else to look.   
   I've ordered a USB WiFi device which has the Atheros AR9271x chipset.    
   Hopefully   
   that will take care of the problem.  Then you won't have to listen to me   
   snivel.   
     I'm kind of tired of running/untangling cat-5, oh well it used to be coax   
   (just threw away the last of the T-connectors/terminating resistors, along with   
   a SCSI terminator).

   It does, and everything appears to be working well.   
      
   Thanks for the help.
