First off, thanks for bothering to reply... you are the one person out of countless views that has bothered to do so... The wireless card is a Netgear MA521 card, but I have gotten the same results with many cards including a DLink DWL-650 and a DLink DWL-650+. Here is the output you requested... Thank you for the help again!
