NDIS Prism2

I am looking to add some functionality to an 802.11 card so that I may
put it into some of the test modes that the firmware supports but
windows doesn't.

what do I need to do/where should i look to get example prism2 chipset
NDIS miniport code. I feel like it should only be a minor addition to
the driver to make it work, but I don't want to have to write the
driver over from scratch.

any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
brad

AFAIK, most vendors of Wireless NICs do not publish their source code
because they want to keep the know-how in-house. That's why there are
AFAIK not many (if any at all) WiFi drivers available for Linux.

So you should not expect to find any source code. Maybe they give out
theirs out under NDA - but I bet that's also coupled to $$$.
