Read Linux: Generic 2.6 Wireless Driver,
"Jeff Garzik, the network device driver maintainer, announced the creation of a wireless-2.6 development tree, aiming to provide some generic wireless code that is non-intrusive enough to be merged into the 2.6 stable tree [forum].

Since 2004-01-01 there is a pre-alpha proyect to develop a clean, GPL compliant port of the Linux kernel and tools to Realtek's RTL8181 "802.11b wireless gateway controller" system-on-chip, used in a variety of wireless access point and gateway appliances. You can join the proyect: rtl8181.sourceforge.net/
