UPDATE: When I checked things over this morning, Devices and Printers tells me the wireless lan (802.11, I think) now has the latest driver. So that's no longer the problem. But when I click on the computer icon in Devices and Drivers and then click on the wireless lan in the dropdown box, it says this device doesn't work, error 10 whatever that is. Hope it doesn't mean I bought a turkey.
