This is the one you need for the Bristol Wireless stuff. I haven't had
time to test this out but I have created a customised version of the
config file that should work for BW stuff.  (make-live.conf attached).
Follow the instructions for installing make-live then install this
version over the top of the installed version.

You should then be able to run

make-live -r /target/directory/bench-iso -a i386 -d etch -p xfce
--packages "bristolwireless"
(or even maybe make-live -p bristolwireless) to create the live cd.
This instruction might need some tweaking but the conf file should get
you started. I will try to test this later on tonight but I can't make
any promises.
