As far as I know Hiroshi's driver is the only one. Paul added a
couple of patches that extended the cards that work.
<http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~ngc/eng/newtwave.htm> an unlocked version
is accessible through the link.
<Paul's site seems to be down at the moment>

Once you have the drivers installed setup of wired or wireless are
about the same, see Franks instructions.
