AVR-Chat

I played a bit with a 802.11 CF card once. Super simple 8-bit ATA interface.
Used some code from IOSoft, UK, and some BSD code. Worked fine, I had
a Web-server with SD-card based data and the uIP TCP/IP stack all up and
running in a mega162.

The Ethernut project also have some 802.11 support. Not sure if it's built 
into
the latest release though.

The main problem is that the card vendors do not publish, or make available,
the documentation for the card chipset.
That's why the only (?) chipset currently supported on Linux (and available 
for
us mortals to play with) is the Prism II.
The good news is that there is a LOT of cards using that, including the 
D-Link
DCF-650W, DCW-660, Netgear MA701, some Sandisk cards.
