Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Did any wrote a driver for it, or know any information about this device?
As there's no official standard to access wifi hardware you'll have to write drivers for every single chipset. Open source code is only available for some devices as several manufacturers simply chose to not release any hardware specifications. Most of the closed-source products can be made to work in linux by using a tool functioning as a wrapper for the ndis interface and thus allowing windows drivers to be installed.

What about making a Virtual Windows Driver Model for running 3D Windows Drivers???
You think it would work???
And also maybe making a virtual Linux Driver Model for running Linux Drivers on my OS!!!
I'm sure the speed of hardware acceleration would cover the time of the emulation, so it would be a wonderful idea!!!
The things I would gain from it are professionals in the Windows/Linux Driver model, and also drivers for my OS.
Because it is a double post?... (@mods: suggestion to split topic and delete the original)

[ My OS ] [ VDisk/SFS ]
A better idea might be for some hobby OSDev's to get together and develop a common device driver interface for their various OS's. Otherewise, with ten thousand and one different operating systems doing the rounds, the chances of persuading anybody else to write a driver for them is precisely nil.
Admittedly, it might not be that great even with a common standard.

It might be cool.But I'm just wondering if this will be practical for the users.
I think the Fitts' law is really an exact description of the main qualities an excellent GUI needs.If you'll combine your idea with that...
