Porting a WIFI driver from linux to windows?
 
Hi there,
I'm having a very special question: Would it be possible to port a Wifi driver from linux to windows? I'm owner of an Aigo mid device which comes with the midinux os and wifi drivers. The most people have installed windows on it because the midinux os really sucks. But there are no working windows drivers for the wifi chipset. So the mid has no internet connection (which is a bit dumb). And because of this I'm asking if it would eventually be possible to port the wifi driver from linux to windows or maybe something else like emulating a mini-linux under windows to get an internet connection?

Thanks in advance

Tobias

ndiswrapper, install ndiswrapper it allows you to use windows drivers for wifi

Yeah but I'm searching for a wrapper which allows Linux drivers under Windows. ;-)
