I've got one in my new Acer 800Cli laptop (try www.acer.co.uk as Warner said
he couldn't find it on the main site). 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.
