 Hi, Folks,

 The wireless driver is currently far too CPU hungry during wireless
 activity.  When the "wireless enabled" LED is flashing, the cursor
 position doesn't update, and in fact, all UI activity appears to halt.
 Whether this is due to a spinlock bug, or simply code inefficiency, I
 can't say, but this needs to be improved.

 Best Regards,
 MarkF
