The only Intersil driver I'm aware of is for 802.11b.  I don't remember 
ever seeing a PRISM GT driver.

Good luck...  many of the transceivers used on 'a' or 'g' cards are very 
versatile, which means if someone had the specs required to write a 
driver they might be able to use the card to broadcast on illegal bands, 
eavesdrop on private bands, or even increase power output beyond legal 
limits.  So, they don't just hand the specs out to anyone.

If you'd like to put your coding skills to work, how about an 
ndis-wrapper LKM for NetBSD?  e-mail me directly for more information 
and how you could help... it's a sss-lll-ooo-www work in progress.

Thanks,
Mike.
