Welcome to the real world, Neo.

           Corega Wireless LAN PCC-11, PCCA_11, PCCB_11
That is what wi(4) lists. My japanese is quite bad, so I was unable to find

"somehow" cares about linux, so there is a chance. 
Maybe it is a Prism or compatible or sth... . Try asking their support what
chipset they used.
