Here's more:

Code:

sudo lshw -C network

gives, in relevant part:

Code:

I notice the driver version is old, but it's part of the kernel. Not sure if changing it would matter, because the computer is old, too, and changing kernel drivers is a little over my head. If that's what it'll take, that's what I'll do, but i expect there's a simpler solution.

Thanks for reviewing this and thinking about it.
