Hi Martin,

Unfortunately it isn't the power supply, I've tried several but the 7260 still 
locks up at "ifconfig wlan0 up".

One possibility I am looking into is to run a 2.6 kernel on it, and try those 
drivers instead.  Sadly I haven't gotten very far with this approach, even 
compiling a kernel is problematic.

Thanks,
-harold
