Hi Enrico I suggest you first fix your mail system. Your email came from: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> which is not going to work.... For device driver documentation take a look at http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ref/devapi-device-driver-interface-to-the-kernel.html A WLAN driver is basically an Ethernet driver, so take a look at http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ref/io-eth-drv-generic.html and study the existing Ethernet drivers. Having said that, eCos might not be the best choice for a wireless router. There is no routing daemon for eCos. There is no NAT. There are no existing WLAN drivers, so you need to add all the infrastructure for configuring WLAN drivers, SSID, channels, crypto, etc. What it can do is plain bridging between interfaces. So i would suggest you first take a good look at eCos before deciding you really do want to use it for your application. Maybe Linux would be better?
