That's the problem - no way to tell for sure. Some people have tried 
using the FCC ID with limited success.

There are a few tables out on the net that list this info, but they are 
somewhat out of date.

I've put together a web page of linux related links at

Look under Hardware->Wireless. There are severals link that'll get you 
started, such as the Wireless LAN Resources for Linux page.
