Daniel, some updates.

It is quite easy to find it out -- it is encoded in the lower 4 bits of the hardware type in the EEPROM, currently E2P_POD in my code. 0xD is RFMD, actually a RF2959. I have the constants in zd_rf.h. Why there are so many chips? Probably because there exist chips of different quality and prices. There will be a price difference between chips which support 802.11b/g and 802.11a/b/g, because the latter has to operate at 2.4 GHz *and* 5.7 GHz. I bet, that in most devices, we will see the RFMD. > What are all those registers about? Frequency listings and similar? Download the data sheet for the RF2958 from www.rfmd.com, then you will get an idea. This is the predecessor for the RF2959. However the registers are different and the frequency is also selected in another way. I try to do the same as the ZYDAS driver does it. The problem is, that you can't read the registers, so you never know, whether you wrote the right stuff into the chip.
