3.1 Version 7.66                                           May 2002
      * Introduction of driver variants
        Variant 2 has been defined for two purposes:
        1. to identify NDIS 5.1 drivers (NDIS 5.0 has variant 1)
           Note that NDIS 5.0 and NDIS 5.1 are covered by NDIS 5
        2. to identify NT4 Softex drivers (NT4 has variant 1)
        Variant 2 drivers have a 'B' appended to the filenames
        listed above.
        Future variant 3 will have a 'C' appended.
        Variant 1 has no 'A' appended.

      * Fixed OHCI controller problem for USB drivers
      * Drivers support both Variants of the USB Card.
        Both old style Variant 1 (with embedded PC Card)
        and new style Variant 2 (single board).

      * For each OS a multi-brand INF file is generated.
        As the name suggests, a multi-brand INF file contains
        the card characteristics of various brands.
        Multi-brand must not be confused with Combined, the latter
        representing the card characteristics on various OS'es 
        for one brand.
      * Various inconveniences w.r.t. Japanese help files
        and screen texts have been resolved
      * Stability issues have been resolved for
        the Control Panel Applet
      * Firmware 8.42 is used in the driver.
        - Initial value for CurrentTXRate is 11 Mbps i.s.o. 2 Mbps.

        - 802.1x authentication
        - Ultra high density
        - Promiscuous mode

      * Extended functionality of Control Panel Applet
        The Control Panel Applet has been extended such that it 
        supports multiple cards to be configured in a single 
        system.

      * Agere-ization has been performed, involving
        replacement of Lucent-related texts to Agere equivalent.
