Hi Julian,
Thank you for the extended reply. It's appreciated. Your output wish is
my command. Here they are (and then some):

With all that provided, the only thing I didn't investigate pursuant to your
below
email was the "compat-wireless". I will do so via the URL:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
Thank you, and do let me know your thoughts given the above additional
information,
and if anything else would be helpful.
Best Regards,
Noel
PS: My only side comment is that suggestion (3) was not applicable. My email
question was peppered with "hello friends", "correct me if I'm wrongs", "and
please and thank yous". Fair enough that some key output I didn't realize would
be
necessary was omitted (my bad, as I'm a compute infrastructure architect not a
kernel module author), but I did my best to get this dialog started well. =:)
Thanks.
