Well, the 'wireless' in the name of the driver is misleading, it's not 
'wireless' device at all, it's just a serial modem (character device), 
with 'wireless' in its product name.

I used to have git tree for this driver some time ago, but after the 
driver has been merged, I have dropped it, as I didn't expect any massive 
further development of it. Apparently, David is going on with improving 
the driver (thanks!), so I'll probably resurrect it and ask Stephen to 
pull it into -next again.

Thanks,
