The only problem here is that these cards are propreitary, and
incompatible with IEEE 802.11 stuff such as Lucent's WaveLAN and Apple's
AirPort. There appears to be no Mac support either.
Hopefully if I can figure out why the WaveLAN card behaves weirdly, I will
get my drivers happy. So far it can successfully reset the card, read the
status until it confirms that it was reset, and then clear the status
register. Now, why some of the registers are not at the places they are
supposed to be...that is my next challenge....
