The RTL8185 is an 802.11a/b/g media access controller and baseband
processor. It is paired with either an RTL8225 or RTL8255 RF front-end
for 2.4 or 2.4/5 GHz operation, respectively.
The available docs on the RTL8185 are incomplete: information on the
baseband processor is completely missing. Docs on the RTL8225 and
RTL8255 are completely unavailable. Realtek provides reference drivers
containing mostly magic numbers.
