How to access IEEE 802.11b for wireless communications

Hi Everybody,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good software reference (API) on how to access/program the 802.11b (WiFi) receiver/transmitter which are typically
installed on PCs? I need to do wireless serial communication between a Master and a Slave device and thought that WiFi technology might be appropriate for the application (readily available for PCs).

Thanks,

All the 802.11b devices that I have worked with have an 802.3 (Ethernet) interface, so all you have to do is use IP; TCP, UDP, whatever you
want.

I was trying not to use anything as complicated as TCP, this way I can have a PC in one end and a simple controller in the other end and they both
communicating serially through the 802.11b devices. Any references?
