Well, it's the new version (v.4) of the Linksys WPC11 wireless PCMCIA 
card.  It used PRISM2 chips but you know Linksys... they like to 
change without telling anyone. 

I've yet to crack open the card but dmesg shows a Realtek 8139 chip.  
So I'll got to check the FCC info about that card or open it 
(whichever happens first) and then grab the tech-info from 
realtek.com.tw and work on a driver (it'll be my first).
