"Hardware" is the part for transferring the packet on the wire and
between the NICs and the PCs + the notifications that some packet
arrived. "Software" is the part that handles the packet on both sides
in, well, software: the NIC driver, the stack, maybe also some
Application (ICMP pings are measured at stack-level in RTnet).

Then why not posting a new thread?

But I can make it short: WLAN is not trivial. We only have one card
currently in RTnet, and that is experimental. Depending on your
hardware, RTnet support can be feasible (there are also cards where it
isn't), but you shouldn't pick it as a beginner's exercise.
