Hello Pavel,
Somebody provided me a Socket Low Power WLAN Card, it uses a
Hermes II chipset, i'm trying to use this card with a Agere
Hermes II drivers. I get this drivers in the Agere's official
web and in "README" file you can see the following:
This software supports the following network interface
cards:
* "Wireless PC Card Model 0104" ("Gold" and "Silver")
* "Wireless PC Card Model 0106" ("Gold" and "Silver")
* "Wireless Integrated Card Model 0202"
* "Wireless Embedded Card Model 0504" (MiniPCI)
* "Wireless PC Card Model 0110"
* "Wireless PC Card Model 0111"
* "Wireless MiniPCI Card Model 0506"
* "Wireless MiniPCI Card Model 0508"
* "Wireless CompactFlash Card Model 1401"
* Other wireless adapters based on Agere's
Hermes-I/Hermes-II chipset.
The main problem is the driver only works in x86 and i can´t
compiled with my cross-compiled tool-chain. I'm a newbie with
ARM boards and i've you could tell me some tips about how
to start with this work...
Best Regards

You didn't explain why you are confused.

You didn't describe your goals, so I'm assuming you just want to buy a
card that is certainly supported.
The safest bet would be Symbol Wireless Networker. Some companies change
chipset without changing the product name, but Symbol always uses its own
chipset. The card consumes little power and is small enough to fit most
embedded systems.
The only downside is that the firmware needs to be loaded through hotplug
or embedded into the driver. Also, Symbol firmware is less documented
than Intersil and even Agere firmware. But the latest firmware is working
very well.
