the Hawking is most likely a TI chipset and the SMC s PRISM (or
whoever they are this week) chipset. I've not seen x64 drivers for
either.

I've personally used wireledd cards with Broadcom and Atheros chips
successfully on x64.

I tried that driver already but thanks for trying. I think I'm just out of
luck so far.
