Hi Luis,

unfortunately it doesn't... The driver is completely different from the
prior versions (downloaded the older one from smc.com). There are only
those two .SYS files (2802W.SYS and 2802W51.SYS) which are 380kB each
(v1 drivers were 50-90k) the .arm is integrated in the drivers. 
If someone's interested in the driver files, let me know, I will send 
driver by personal mail.

The card even looks very different from the V1 card. This card is a real
PCI card not one of those mini-pci+adapter ones which the old one seems
to be, so it seems to be a complete redesign...
