Hell yeah, if we can. We are talking with Conexant now to get specs 
for these new type of cards.

I'm not sure the details of how the spec distribution will work among
developers yet (if we do get them) but if we do get them and we do set 
up a protocol for giving developers access to the specs you'll first
need CVS access (basically become a prism54 developer/mantainer). You can
accomplish this by just contributing to the current source base. Perhaps
fixing a few bugs/working on the TODO list (hmmm someone nuked TODO from
cvs).

We also *may* get a driver framework from Conexant for the new prism54
driver. If so then you can just contribute to that code base if you don't 
feel like working on our current bugs, once we get it and if we get it ;)
