I have recently acquired a WUSB300N, and was wondering what the status is on
linux support for this device.
It's chipset (Marvell 88w8362) seems to be supported, but over PCI/PCIe only
so far. Is anyone working on USB variants? I'm willing to help test anything
anyone might be working on.
Thanks

I'm not aware of anything in progress for this. :-( In fact, even the
PCI variant seems to mostly be getting random maintenance (e.g. API
changes) from the community rather than any support from Marvell.

Thats too bad. Well I did get the thing for free. So theres noone at all
working on this chipset specifically? Is there any information/documentation
available? It might be interesting to see if I can manage to hack something
together (total kernel programming n00b, but I do C relatively well).
