writing a driver to make a USB wireless stick, appear as gig10 wir
in [Device Drivers]

From: TomH on 21 Jun 2010 15:41 Hi, I would like to wrap a driver for a USB wireless 802.11g stick, in a driver that makes the stick appear to the OS as a wired gig10 device, and automatically connect via DHCP. The connection and device parameters can be stored on local disk. Are there any wireless chipset providers that ship windows driver source files? are there any examples of wrapping one driver in another like that I can take a look at? are there device manufacturers that provide sdk for their USB wireless sticks Thanks Tom ps I am a total newbie, so I am unlikely to actually achieve the result but I am interested to see how far I get...

Yes, possible - especially for NDIS5 driver. You will need to make a NDIS IM "filter" driver. More work for a NDIS6 driver. > Are there any wireless chipset providers that ship windows driver source > files? There are several wi-fi drivers in Linux. Porting these to Windows is definitely possible, though it is not a simple project for a beginner. > are there any examples of wrapping one driver in another like that I can > take a look at?

Depends on how you are motivated... why you need this? Good luck. --pa
