Sounds great. You might want to work with the fellow in Japan who did a
bunch of Ethernet drivers and was going to do a WaveLAN driver (as of
last August). Check Victor Rehorst's Ethernet card page, it's probably
got a link to his site. If not, let me know and I'll find it.

I'm not sure if I have the programming knowledge necessary for Ethernet
drivers, but I'd be interested in helping you out in any way I can.
