Could you give more info on your wireshark output. If the protocol is proprietary, then it would be really difficult for you to write a driver for it. Reversing engineering a protocol would take you months to figure it out. I don't Gsoc would be possible for you right now on this idea. If your interested c= heck out the other ideas in the link above. = Also the link above has explained on how to propose your own idea for a Gsoc project. Please do check it out! Also try reaching out to the company to see if they already support this protocol on linux.(Probably not because it is proprietary).
