I got some data for the RTL8180 on Monday, and I have now read it. It doesn't look too scary, though some of the description is rather vague. So I'm now looking for a PCI card implementation that I can try writing a driver for. (Anybody seen one, preferably in the UK or Europe? A cheap Cardbus bridge would be nearly as good.) A very quick overview: The RTL8180 is NIC (or MAC) for IEEE 802.11b network cards, designed to work with 3 different RF frontend chipsets. It is a 32-bit part so can be packaged as a PCI card, (for desktops), a mini-PCI card (some laptops), or a 32-bit Cardbus PC Card. (Note: on FreeBSD 32-bit Cardbus cards need Warner's NEWBUS support, as I understand it, essentially this means running FreeBSD 5.1.)
