yea, it can be extracted from palmos. It's usual palmos database file so there 
is no problem with extracting it's content at all.

Since I dont have the device here, I'm posting quote from openmoko wiki which 
I wrote there some time ago ( 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/WiFi_support_in_OpenMoko )
WLAN6064EB - IEEE 802.11b Embedded Module - Uses Marvell chipset - 88W8381PN, 
Used in Palm TX (fw 4.102.p0-122 from 2005/08/30, size 82876 bytes, fw stored 
in 8381Fw.pdb), PN means it uses RF8015 RF chip, while P-only stands for 
RF8010.
