Actually you are about month early to the party ;-). We are trying to clean up winbond usb wireless driver, so that it can think about inclusion in kernel. http://code.google.com/p/winbondport/ Unfortunately, original driver carries its own 802.11 stack with it; that needs to be stripped down. (And then code needs to be rewritten due to horrible coding style).
