Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately, I am limited to
what exists on the Gentoo boot image, unless I want
to rebuild said image, which I don't. Fortunately,
iwconfig is included in the Gentoo image. Unfortunately,
it doesn't seem to actually work with my card. Drat.
Looks like I'll have to go back to the 10bT card for
the install.
