I have found that they use the same chipset as the WaveLans use.
However, I have no information on the radio modem, nor how to talk to
it.  I'm getting these cards on the off chance that they might
actually work with wlp or will be easy to get to work with wlp.  It is
a risk for me, but only a $60 risk.  I paid more than that for my MIPS
PC that is currently happily running OpenBSD/arc and monitoring the
outside temperature....

I see two uses for this card:  1) roaming my house and 2) putting some
kind of directional antenna and getting good throughput accross town
to a friend's house.
