Thanks; my Cisco Aironet works well with hotplug in the version I'm using so I don't think it's necessary to change things (quit while you're ahead is a good maxim here, I think). But I may need to look into ndiswrapper when I get a Thinkpad T60, which I'm planning to do shortly so I may take up your kind offer then if I run into problems.
