By any chance, is there a WaveLan driver for NetBSD?  I'm using a P90 PCI
machine currently running NetBSD 1.0 (soon to be 1.1) and I need to get this
wireless lan working.  

I didn't see it listed as supported hardware on the install notes, but I was
hoping.

On a different tack, I've been told that Linux does have such a driver.  How
difficult would it be for someone with no device driver knowledge to get up to
speed and port this driver to NetBSD?

Thanks for any help,
