The most interesting part is 1a37:bece. It is Vendor ID : Product ID 1a37 is officially assigned to Beceem Communications Inc. Product ID "bece" looks to be their company name also :) Looks like it is BCS200 chip, since it is the only that contained CardBus interface. http://www.beceem.com/products/bcs200.shtml > 2.

You have to get documentation from manufacturer of this chip. Or you will have to reverse engineer this device... even harder than to write driver :( _______________________________________________ wimax mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxwimax.org/mailman/listinfo/wimax
