libnifi

libnifi is a project to provide a consistent interface to talking to a Nintendo DS over wireless hiding the details of what card you’re using, and eventually what OS you’re on...

It’s in pretty awful state right now. I can use it to beacon and associate to an NDS, and there is preliminary code to associate with a beaconing DS although it doesn’t work for me.

There are two test applications, beacontest and whosthere.

Currently, on my rt2500-based PCI card using the rt2500 module and the latest CVS rt2500 drivers, beacontest will happily start Polarium Demo.
