Hi Michael,
Though I've no direct experience of writing code for either protocol,
if (if!) the interfaces are written sensibly, then the ethernet packets
will simply be 'wrapped' by USB ones.
The above will be untrue only if there is a special ethernet interface
specification for USB, and this I doubt. On this basis, I suggest
looking into the USB provision in OS X (and, OS independently,
transmitting ethernet over USB) and see what features are provided.
HTH,

Alright,
So I've read an amazing amount of material about the ins and outs of
the OS, etc.; I've done a few of the tutorials on writing IOKit/Kernel
Extensions, and you guys have been amazing with your feedback.
However, I'm still a bit stumped as to where to truly begin. I'm
developing a driver for a USB-based wireless network device, and I'm
still not sure where to begin. Should I begin writing the code to
handle the network connection, or should I focus on getting the USB
portion handled first? Or, is this a process where I'll need to work
on both in tandem correcting one for the other?
Thanks,
Michael
