Thanks for the reply!  Unfortunately, I am constrained to use the 2.4 kernel by another software package that I have to use, which doesn't yet support 2.6.  It appears to me that the 8541/8555 support was put into 2.6 and never back-ported to 2.4.  I'll take a look at the manuals today and compare the 8540 to the 8541: perhaps I can live with the 8540 support that does appear to be in the 2.4 kernel.  If not, hopefully the porting job won't be very difficult.

Thanks for your help!
