Just curious: is the Intel stuff warmed-over Intersil Prism54?
Perhaps there is a redistributable Intersil Prism firmware?

Another question: is the Intel b/g chipset perhaps an Xscale processor
with a modem & transceiver tacked on?  I hear that there are open-source
network operating systems that run on Xscale....

I'd sure like to see photos of the insides of both the Intel .11b and
.11b/g products, if somebody has any to share.
