I would like to see ppl with the hardware and time to work on a new

(including netbsd's and freebsd's).  It does not work very well ever
since it borned in OpenBSD, you can read various complains about it on
their mail list yourself.
I've got both. I'd like to work on the new driver rather than the port.

Intel's new 3945 project should have provided a good reference driver:
http://intellinuxwireless.org/
But you still need to read the reference driver, which mainly depends
on how much time you can spend on it and will not be difficult.
I'd rather refrain myself from refering any gpl'd driver. I searched
for the specs for 3945 on
intel site but in vain. could you provide me with specs.
If you want to start the new driver, please feel free to contact me if
you need help (except for testing the driver, I don't have the
hardware)
any help will be appreciated.

thanks,
