Hmmm, I never heard of this, but a brief round of googling provided me
the basics. Read the articles at

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers/61.

I appears that most of the cards are based on a Broadcom chip, that
Broadcom owns the standard and is not releasing much info, and that
there are some sort of binary drivers for linux, a la nvidia and ati.

HTH,
