</div></div>Thanks Nick, that worked well for me and I now have (partially) working<br>
WiFi.<br>
<br>
I say partially because it appears that with heavy use of the WiFi I very<br>
quickly get hard lockups - no tty, no ssh, no response to anything at all, a<br>
complete lock. If I disconnect the WiFi I can operate for quite a long time<br>
(well, battery capacity permitting anyway). I do have a z3736f chip, not a<br>
z3735f so whether that makes a difference or not I'm not sure.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if it is the driver or something else I still need to do some<br>
more troubleshooting on it - although I'm not really sure on how to best<br>
troubleshoot a hard lockup....<br>

I've got mine and installing Linux seems like a no-go right now. Can't get past the 32-bit UEFI requirement to even get a Live disc to run. I can get to the boot menu, but nothing else will run from there. </div></div></div></div>
