Well, I am working on drivers for the AT76C503/76C505 series, based on the
FreeBSD "atuwi" driver[1], but it is a slow progress (Trying to reverse
engineer the net80211 framework, lacking any documentation - and I *do* have a
daytime job..). However, these are USB devices - I do not know how far the
similarity goes.

One particular issue with the USB series is that they come in quite a few
different versions, shipping with different radio interfaces. This requires
supported firmware - which in case of the USB version needs to be uploaded
to de the device every time. Atmel kindly supplies this firmware, but the
current license does not allow including it in a kernel image[2]. I haven't
contacted Atmel about this yet - I would rather have at least a proof of
concept about getting this to work before I do so.  All I've managed so
far isn't very impressive - reading back the MAC address is as far as
I got regarding interfacing to that device. However, this implies that the
firmware uploading is working correctly, so it's *something* :)

Kind regards,

Martijn
