Some embodiments of the invention provide an interface between programmed
instructions (e.g., an operating system) and a miniport driver configured
to communicate with radio hardware on a computer. The interface may
include components operable to invoke various wireless
connectivity-related functionality implemented by the radio hardware
and/or miniport driver. The functionality may, for example, include a
capability whereby the computer may maintain simultaneous connections on
a plurality of wireless networks using a single radio, and/or a
capability whereby the computer may function as an access point for a
wireless network.
