I think it's Prism 54 based (although not in this list).

http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php

Anyway I turned up a lot of out of date docs at first but then I found
this:

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List

Basically it seems that even the ones with no Linux driver work with
ndiswrapper.  And the above doc tells you which require ndiswrapper and
which have a native driver.

Is it true that all Motorola PCMCIA cards use Broadcom chipsets so
require ndiswrapper?
