It was my impression too, but as you say, YMMV. It will be my first
driver, although I already hacked the kernel, make netfilters modules
and read lwn ;).

For the process, it is still unclear for me. I copy rtl8180*[ch] to
rtl8192*[ch], and start to hack into to make clean git patches ?

On which tree should I base my work : 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git ?

It helps :)
