Writing device drivers

Hi All,

I have a netgear WG111v2 wireless usb adapter. I would
like to use this adapter to connect to the net. I would
like to get more information on how to write a device
driver for wireless adapters like these. What is needed?
Are there examples to help me? Where can I start reading
for more information?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind Regards,
Riza Dindir

NetBSD Device Driver Writing Guide

The NetBSD Device Driver Writing Guide is an introduction
into
NetBSD's autoconf(9) system and the basics of device
drivers under
NetBSD. As an example, a device driver for a floppy drive
under NetBSD
was chosen, as the hardware and necessary documentation was
available
but the driver itself missing. NetBSD was chosen as the
target
operating system, as it lends itself perfectly as a teaching
example
due to its clearly structured source code and well defined
interfaces.

I have missed 

Is there any information, or does anybody in the list know
how wireless usb adapters can be programmed? I could not
find
any information on the net. Maybe someone has written device
drivers for wireless usb adapters.
