I fought with Marvell based cards recently (not mine, otherwise I would already have shipped one to you). They are made by Planet http://www.planet.com.tw/ and sold under part numbers : - WL-3563 - WL-8313 I've seen only one revision of the hardware, and available drivers from Planet web site are for Marvell chipsets. This is really El Cheapo solution, with crappy drivers, hope you can find recent ndis 5.1 drivers elsewhere.
