I have missed 

Is there any information, or does anybody in the list know
how wireless usb adapters can be programmed? I could not find
any information on the net. Maybe someone has written device
drivers for wireless usb adapters.

NetBSD Device Driver Writing Guide

The NetBSD Device Driver Writing Guide is an introduction into
NetBSD's autoconf(9) system and the basics of device drivers under
NetBSD. As an example, a device driver for a floppy drive under NetBSD
was chosen, as the hardware and necessary documentation was available
but the driver itself missing. NetBSD was chosen as the target
operating system, as it lends itself perfectly as a teaching example
due to its clearly structured source code and well defined interfaces.
