It runs in 3 modes, I have been testing in high speed mode which is
supposed to be 10Mbps also the default mode. It can fall back to 2Mbps when
talking to older cards or other 802.11 compatible cards.

It's a slot PC that plugs into an ISA passive backplane, popular with the
picobsd crowd.
It has the following probed hardware:

I think the source to their Linux driver for the 802.11 card is at:
FTP://FTP.WAVELAN.COM/PUB/SOFTWARE/IEEE/PC_CARD/LINUX/wavelan2_cs-3.10.tar.gz
It's supposed to work with the turbo card, according to the one line comment at:
http://www.wavelan.com/support/software/index.html
There is also a version 4 linux driver for the silver card, thats the one with
the WEV encryption.
