Michael "mmlr" Lotz, of Tracker.NewFS, SVG, Haiku USB, Qemu, and countless other cool-things-to-have fame has checked in Haiku's first wireless network driver, for the Intel Pro Wireless 2100. This chipset, which inhabits nearly all early Centrino-badged devices, is amongst the more common wireless hardware found in recent computers. Its sucessor, the 2200, is already supported by BeOS with Patrick Lafarguette's driver. Should the driver also work on R5, this brings its number of supported chipsets to four, covering a wide range of cards, both 802.11b and g, across PCI, PCMCIA and USB buses.

On a personal note, this leaves only the Wacom digitizer in my HP Compaq tc1100 tablet/laptop convertable unsupported by Haiku, although getting Haiku on to it - it has no optical drive - could prove tricky.

***UPDATE***

Michael emailed me to let me know the driver does work on R5 - and that he in fact committed it to SVN over a connection using it. Additionally, to use it, you need the firmware, available here.
