Here you are:

        Subsystem: National Datacomm Corp: Unknown device 0131
        Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop-
ParErr- Stepping+ SERR- FastB2B-
        Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11
        Region 1: I/O ports at b800 [size=16]

No problem. I am fine with and used to that (both as maintainer and supporter of drivers ;-)

No idea. I copied this section verbatim from some code I found on the linux-wlan-ng mailing list. I you wish I can send it, but it are about 400Kb that I do not want to send to a list unsolicited. There are some more description of the TMD chip register, maybe they'll help. I am lacking any understanding what this code really does, so this is what I consider "sorcerer's apprentice" style.

I am sorry, from what I read in the list archives they are not available on the net. I am even missing a manufacturer.

Thank you the the quick reply,
