It's more difficult that porting from PCMCIA to PCI because the low-level
code should be changed.  The driver cannot write to the registers - it
exchanges messages over USB.

I suggest that you help the efforts to make linux-wlan-ng work with USB
devices.  Then you'll have the necessary knowledge to add USB support to
HostAP.

It may also happen that the adapter doesn't have the firmware in the
non-volatile memory.  Then a loader will be needed.

It would be great if you keep the list subscribers updated on the progress
of the project.
