There is a neat FAQ at http://www.wavelan.com/products/faq/ and one of the
FAQ items says: The WaveLAN Network Interface Cards (NICs) include NDIS and
ODI client drivers, allowing WaveLAN to work in the Windows 95/98, Windows
NT, Win2K, Apple, Linux and Novell environments. I seem to recall that
someone has already done NetBSD and BSDI for these cards, but I've lost
that email.

I've been working on getting Lucent to sponsor DS 11Mbps base station
support as well as a deep IETF-special discount on new 11mbps PCMCIA cards.
More information to come soon.
BTW, if you have older slower Wavelan gear the new base stations are
backwards compatible.
