Interesting... I'm guessing it's a standard 16-bit PCMCIA card in a PCI adapter.

Any idea what chipset in the actual card? I'd guess a Prism2 if only because the card physically reminds me of one I have. (Which also makes me wonder if the drivers could be patched for other Prism2-based cards.)

More curiously, I wonder how that PCI card is implemented. Does it present as a full PCMCIA slot or is it some minimal implementation that mostly routes signals around. (I have a a couple of Linksys ones (WDT11) around here that are for their use with their WPC11 card. As I understand it, the card is mostly one big chip which just glues the ISA signals from the card to the PCI bus.
