RE: Form S-8 Registration Statement

Dear Members of the Board:

As special project counsel to Eagle Wireless International, a Texas corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with that certain Form S-8 registration statement
dated March 10, 1999, I have been asked to provide an opinion of counsel as to
the legality of the securities being registered, indicating whether they will,
when sold, be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

In rendering this opinion, I have assumed, without independently verifying such
assumptions, and this opinion is based and conditioned upon the following: (I)
the genuineness of the signatures on and the enforceability of all instruments,
documents and agreements examined by me and the authenticity of all documents
furnished for my examination as originals and the conformity to the original
documents of all documents furnished to me as copies; (II) where an executed
document has been resented to me for my review, that such document has been duly
executed on or as of the date stated and that execution and delivery was duly
authorized on the part of the parties thereto; (III) each of the foregoing
certificates, instruments and documents being duly authorized, executed and
delivered by or on behalf of all the respective parties thereto, and such
instruments and documents being legal, valid binding obligations of such
parties; (IV) the truth and accuracy of representations and statements made in
the documents received from the State of Texas; and (V) the Company will be
operated in accordance with the terms of its charter documents and the laws of
the State of Texas and the terms of the instruments or documents referred to
above.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1.       The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a
         corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas, the
         jurisdiction of its incorporation.

2.       The terms and provisions of the common stock conform to the description
         thereof contained in the registration statement, and the form of the
         stock certificates used to evidence the common stock are in good and
         proper form and no stockholder is entitled to preemptive rights to
         subscribe for or purchase any of the common stock.
3.       The issuance and the sale of the shares of common stock has been duly
         and validly authorized and the securities will, when sold, be duly
         legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of
         the Company.

I am admitted to practice in the State of California and the State of Texas. I
am not admitted to practice in any jurisdictions other than California and
Texas, in which the Company may own property or transact business. My opinions
herein are with respect to federal law only and, to the extent my opinions are
derived from the laws of other jurisdictions, are based upon an examination of
all relevant authorities and the documents referenced herein and are believed to
be correct. I have not directly obtained legal opinions as to such matters from
attorneys licensed in such other jurisdictions. No opinion is expressed upon any
conflict of la issues. My opinions are qualified to the extent that enforcement
of rights and remedies are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium, and other laws of general application or equitable
principles affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and security holders
and to the extent that the availability of the remedy of specific performance or
of injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any
proceeding may be brought.

This opinion is limited to matters existing as of this date and no
responsibility is assumed to advise you of changes (factual or legal) which may
hereafter occur, whether deemed material or not.

I furnish this opinion to you as special counsel for the Company and it is
solely for your benefit. This opinion is not to be used, circulated, quoted or
otherwise referred to in whole or in part for any other purpose, except as set
forth in my consent.

Very truly yours,
/s/ Richard O. Weed
