Just a thought but Apple have backed 802.11g stuff in a big way for
their new airport extreme stuff

OSX is all unix underneath these days and they have committed to the
open source model so perhaps research at
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/darwin/resources.html 

Might find a driver for this chip? They have both mac and X86 versions
of the core os. Someone who is clever both with macs and matters *nix eg
Mr Clae or Mr Borthwick would be good to ask.
