It's not going to work.  The TX/RX methods have changed significantly so
as it needs drivers changes.  There are trying to make it look like
a normal ethernet card.

A donation of a card would make it work faster.  I don't have extra money
now to buy one but if someone sent me one I could probably get it going
in a weekend.  Also might try to add in MIC support.  I need to add this
to the donations list.  Also a crusty old Aironet AP would be nice.

I have some patches for signal & quality strength but I haven't been
able to figure out definitive answers for units.  So I haven't commited
it.  Cisco won't release programing doc's any more.  I can figure some 
things out by looking at the Linux driver.  That should be enough to get
the PCI version working.  I have mini-pci to PCI adapter so I just need
the card.
