A method for establishing a wireless communication link between a first transceiver communicatively coupled to a computer bus and a second transceiver communicatively coupled to a peripheral device, wherein the computer is configured to operate under the control of an operating system and one or more application program, the method comprising:

  • polling for a discovery signal from die peripheral device at one or more polling frequencies;

    receiving at the first transceiver a device discovery signal from the peripheral device at a particular frequency, wherein the particular frequency is one of the one or more polling frequencies;

    identifying the particular frequency, wherein the particular frequency identifies the peripheral device by type and is not a network frequency;

    providing identification of the peripheral device to a bus driver through the first transceiver, wherein the bus driver is stored in a memory device that is coupled to the bus; and

    communicating information from the application program over the wireless communication link to the peripheral device.
