Any idea what this peice of hardware is?
          

This motherboard includes on-board 802.11g wireless LAN.
This is that.
        

Yes, but what is the name of the chipset? What kernel driver?
      

Its an RT2500 chip, and the driver is rt2500.ko.  But this driver is not part 
of the regular kernel, so use module-assistant which I think supports it 
otherwise google is your friend.
    

This link has instructions for installing and configuring the rt2500 on debian with module-assistant:

This link has the instructions for compiling and installing it manually:

I have not verified either procedure but they look good.

Would be  good if you could provide the need:

$: (lspci | lspci -n) | sort

output so I can work to include it on discover1-data... I only need to
know the right module name to be able to have it working in case of
module be available.

  

In the origional bug/installation report (link below) Adam includes the lspci and lspci -n.
I don't have the board yet.
