USB NetGear MA111 driver

[Andrei Grichine]

Hello Pavel,
Thanks for the fast reply. These wireless adapters are using PRISM 3
chipset. Is it difficult to port HostAP driver to support USB devices?
How difficult is to port this driver to MAC platform?

If anyone is interested in this kind of projects, please let me know.
We can discuss our possible project.
