I have the Addtron version of this same card - look and see if the PCI card
has "WL11000P" on it. I have some info from Ryan Niemi who is also on the
list that should help in putting together a driver. I hope to try to work on
that soon, but my workload is about to increase considerably so I don't know
when I'll get to it. But I REALLY need this to work myself.

If you (or anyone else) is interested in working on the driver, let me know
and maybe we can collaborate. Basically the PCI card is directly mapping the
PCMCIA card into the usual PCI I/O and memory space rather than really being
a PCI to PCMCIA bridge.

PS Addtron's box says it works with Linux, as does the Eumitcom site.
Addtron's support just sent me the linux-wlan-ng-0.1.7 package. It doesn't
support it either.
