RE: FreeBSD support for 3Com OfficeConnect 11Mbps Wireless LAN PC card (3CRSHPW196)

This is not entirely correct.  3CRWE62092A is based on the No Wires Needed
card.  This driver (linux) is being developed here:

3CRWE62092B (as well as both OfficeConnect cards) are Atmel chipset and
there are various websites working on it:

These cards are based on the old 'no wires nessary' cards.  There's a
Linux port, and the docs are flowing around the net.  There's no
driver for *BSD at the moment.  There's a Linux driver for this card.
The 196/696 sounds like a refinement of the same interface, but I've
not checked out the linux driver.

I supposedly have one of these cards on the way to me to do some
driver work, but so far it hasn't shown up.
