AFAIK, most vendors of Wireless NICs do not publish their source code
because they want to keep the know-how in-house. That's why there are
AFAIK not many (if any at all) WiFi drivers available for Linux.

So you should not expect to find any source code. Maybe they give out
theirs out under NDA - but I bet that's also coupled to $$$.
