Hi

Well, we do have the driver source which was dumped by Renesas
KeyStream. It works quite well, as in you can use it to go online.
Actually, once when my laptops wifi card couldn't - for whatever
reason - see the hotspot i wanted to connect to, I routed the traffic
through my nanonote :)
But the driver has some issues which could/should be fixed. Javi
showed interest in past in doing so, but hasn't happened much since
then. One problem that still exits is lack of documentation so if the
card behaves unexpected we can't be sure what to do to behave
properly. Everything is just guesswork based on the existing code.
