We *can* start working on the USB glue for the prism54 driver. It has been =
confirmed=20
that there are some USB devices that do use the Prism Frisbee chipset.=20
These use the old firmware architecture which the prism54 relies on. Note=

though that all windows drivers out there are currently using the new=20
firmware architecure. That said, we'd be the *first* to write a USB driver=
=20
for the old firmware. So good luck to us ;)

Eeh.. not sure yet... <sigh>. I am pretty frustrated that the prism54
patch went into bk without *any* prism54 notice. It really throws us
off. I think that the we'd most likely be writing from scratch a lot of
the USB glue. A lot of other things can probalby be shared. I'm just not
sure yet.=20

Since you seem to be doing a lot of work on it you can lead our
development/research on it :) I know I have other TODO elements to take
care of first.

Please don't send patches yet as we first have to restructure our CVS
repository a bit.
