No word on that driver yet, I'll query some of the heads I heard it from
when I get a chance. You might want to look into one of the talks done at
ToorCon by Beetle (of Shmoo) which has some nice C# and VBScript code that
interfaces with NDIS and WMI to grab stuff like RSSI, SSID, BSSID from
an AP you're associated to, and ones you're not - so you can use existing
infrastructure instead of writing your own drivers for that. Also, I don't
think it's *driver* specific to the WildPacket AiroPeek ones, but to their
Peek files - which i'm sure will be easy to rev-eng than drivers would be.
I've also heard faint talks about Marius Milner getting a driver for RFMON but
I believe that'll break the NDA he has/had. Here are some links to the
stuff I mentioned (and more!).

Wireless Research API - http://ramp.ucsd.edu/pawn/wrapi/
and http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/network/wireless/default.mspx
should cover some NDIS stuff. Geez, this is an essay!
