 From what I've seen, the Prolink chipset is the same thing as the Divio 
NW802 (they both have Product ID 0xd001 in all the reports I've seen). 
There is an experimental NW802 driver at http://nw802.sourceforge.net/

Even if they are different, the code might be useful as a starting point.

If you have Windows, you can spy on the USB traffic with USB Snoopy and 
try to replicate the behavior under Linux. Quite a few drivers have been 
written using that technique. See http://www.wingmanteam.com/usbsnoopy/
