I have this device too and would be happy to help out. Some time ago I started looking into what would be necessary to make it work. I don't think there are any docs. The Linux driver is the only reference I could find. The linux driver has pci/usb shims around a common core, much like some other OpenBSD wireless drivers do (e.g. athn(4)). I believe a good approach would be to write a working PCI device driver based on our USB one (urtwn(4)), and then factor out common code from both into the sys/dev/ic/ directory in a separate step.
