This appears to be using the Realtek RTL8180 chipset.

Completely different chipset, alas.  I have emailed Realtek asking for
programming information but not received any reply.  :-(

Is there a cross-reference of which WLAN chipsets are supported and
which products they appear in?  (Warner?)  It seems like something is
needed especially for the lower cost (Linksys, Netgear, D-Link, etc...)
brands who keep jumping between chipsets.
