Use PSP as a wifi card

Hello, I don't know how fesiable this is, but I've been playing around alittle bit with coding on the psp, and I had this idea.

Would it be possible to use the PSP as a Wifi card? I know you would have to write drivers for the comp too, and a special app to pass the comands via USB.

I was just thinking, it might be a fun little project. Any thoughts?

I doubt it would be either fun or little!

Remember there is also IR and serial that you could potentially use to pass the commands. I also agree that it wouldnt be a 5 minute project.

Given the cost of wifi devices, I dont see the value in a project like that either, apart from the personal satisfaction possibly.

Let us also not forget that the device is only an 802.11 b one. The effort put into creating the proper driver for it wouldn't be worth it; the speed gain is worth just buying a proper 802.11 g (or pre-N) card.
