1.Why don't the USB adapters work for the wi-fi me.

2.How do you make a driver that will make it work?(Note:I am asking how to make a driver,I am not asking for someone to make it.)

Because they use a different chipset than the one for which we have a hacked driver.

this is a very big project i think tim has been working on his from the time he first got his DS

i dont know any specifics but you need to tell the card how to communicate with the DS hardware

At a guess, to make a driver you will need the Windows DDK (Device driver development kit) and documentation on the chipset of the wireless device you wish to write the driver for.

The DDK is available from Microsoft's website somewhere or if you are an MSDN subscriber you probably already have it.

Good luck getting the documentation for the chipset of your wireless device. Visiting the manufacturer's website might be a good start. Or looking for an equivalent Linux driver.
