It's Centrino based with 5+hrs of battery life. The 44xx seem to be big SoC type devices with the possibility that NIC, USB, Modem, HomePNA, kitchen sink all exist on the same chip. I've got all of the setup side of the driver done (e.g. PHY and MAC tickling) and now have to get my head around bus_dma so I can start sending packets out of it. Duncan
