ASUS Ethernet and Wifi

Some ASUS motherboards have an integrated wifi expansion slot. Here's
a link to one mobo: A7N8XE-Delux
http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=...eluxe&langs=09

As I understand it, the wifi card must be purchased separately and
includes a wifi antenae. http://www.xpcgear.com/asuswifipcig.html

It's supposed to be more than a wireless reciever. It's supposed to
route an ISP hookup from ethernet and broadcast it as a 802.11b or
802.11g signal.

(1) Are there any Linux drivers to use this card as a wifi client?

(2) Are there any Linux drivers that will run this card as a base
station? I think a support application would also be required.

(3) I've seen posts about the Marvell 88E8001 PCI ethernet controller
under Linux and there are some drivers hosted by ASUS
http://www.asus.com/support/download...me=P4P800%20SE .
DOES IT WORK? Is anyone using this ethernet port with linux?

It doesn't say which chipset this thing use, so it's quite difficult
to say if there are drivers or not.

The specifications page is very ambiguous

No mention of chipset.
