The trail went a bit cold there though, http://focus.ti.com/docs/apps/catalog/general/applications.jhtml?templateId= 977&path=templatedata/cm/general/data/bband_80211_client_adapters Interesting note: It looks as if one chip supports PC-card, PCI and USB, possibly by pin strapping and multifunction pins which means that presumably those wireless network PC-card to PCI adapters aren't real converters, they just rely on switching the card into PCI mode. Couldn't dig right the way to a datasheet, I think TI want $$$ first.
