I'd like to if it proves useful for development, sure. I don't see why it
would though. If I get a chance I'll see if I start doing that but we'd
have to start recolecting data for all the cards then.
Yes, for the dev of the driver, it's not so relevant.
Heh, I figured :-D
But for porting linux on one access point based on the prismGT, it is.
I'm not sure I understood this. You're porting the linux kernel onto a
access point which has a card based on the prism GT chipset?
Porting "linux" because of a chipset doesn't make sense. You write a
driver for a kernel or so. You port linux to platform, a new
architecture, etc. If the access point already uses a
platform/architecture which it already has been ported to there is no need
to do much work on the driver. If so then it should go on the prism54
project since the driver is supposed to be cross platform.
You don't know the owner of the LevelOne 3400TX router?
I'm not sure if I do.

It's based on the ISL3893 WiSOC. It could be nice to have the linux port
for this chip, because it should share some code with the driver.

Seems that Fujitsu Siemens is running this chip (with USB - nice):

View the pdf datasheet.

Very Nice SOC.
