I already have an Intersil Prism USB NIC---actually, it's Bryan's---but
making it work would be a big job.  Atmel & Ralink USB NICs ought to work,
and if not, they will be easy enough for me to fix, if you send me one.

The USB keyfrob with storage+WLAN that I mentioned earlier was
Ralink-based, btw.
