I need to modify the congestion control algorithm in the MAC layer of IEEE 802.11- (WiFi) in a real world, hardware implementation. Does anyone know any developing tool that provides access to the code (and the necessary documentation), in that low layer of the TCP/IP stack?
I know Texas Instrument's SimpleLink Wi-Fi Launchpad:

The CC3200 Key ROM features include TCP/IP stack...

Hope this could be useful.
Thank you very much Adbulaziz and Bruno. I will check your suggestions and I will let you know.
If your interested on prototyping new MAC protocols in a real WiFi card, maybe you should also take a look at OpenFWWF: http://www.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/
I have been using it to test new MAC schemes for WiFi :).
Depending on what you want to modify exactly, it could also be implemented in the device driver. I guess the unifying module for the WLAN MAC is mac80211 in Linux:
http://wireless.kernel.org/
If it is not implemented there, I can definitely support the recommendation of Luis on OpenFWWF.
