Believe or not, but this is very practical advice, given that , as you
wrote, you have no driver experience.
The minimum a consultant can get you :

a. Understand your task and what exactly are the modules to write
b. Select a prototype ( IM driver and/or others)
c. Tweak it up for yor project (rename files, services...)
and give further directions.
d. help you to setup a development machine and debugger.

Then you may need a course of kernel mode - because, for a moment,
it is not visual basic.

I could not even understand about these network packets coming
from USB - is this a specific USB wireless adapter with existing driver,
or any / different usb wireless adapters (bluetooth? wi-fi? cdma? ), or new
device for which you need to make a driver yourself...

Good luck,
