Well, sort of!
On machine 1 (AMD k6-2/350 desktop) 1.0.4 wifi networking is fine with an ATMEL USB-based 802.11b adapter.
On machine 2 (ASUS L8400B Celeron 550MHz notebook) no wireless network with the same adapter. Adapter disconnects after modprobe completes and stays disconnected.
Same adapter and same machines work well on 1.0.1 and 1.0.3.
Also bladehunter's wifi dot pup package no longer works on machine 2 (DWL-650+ PCMCIA adapter) with 1.0.4., ndiswrapper loads but does not acquire the device. Again, works well on previous releases.
Does anyone else have similar problems? Any solutions?

Found a workaround for the problem of the USB adapter disconnecting.
Issued the commands:
No real clue why it has to be done that way. It is inelegant but works consistently.
Issued the commands:
Then went through the iwconfig etc. process. The adapter then stays connected and it works. Others would have to modify the commands depending on which ATMEL-powered adapter they are using.#rmmod at76c503-rfmd
#rmmod at76c503
#modprobe at76c503-rfmd
