I have a msp430f5500 uC and a wifi chip is connected via usb.

Now, I want to do following things with this setup:

1.Scan AP
2.connect AP
3.socket (Transceivers)TCP/UOP
4.Sleep
5.Listner, Caputure and Analyse(Communication packets)

 

How can do this?

    How did you connect the wifi chip? The microcontroller doesn't support USB host mode, and even if it would support it, most of the communication is driver specific. That is, a proprietary protocol is used to communicate between the USB host and the wifi controller, and this protocol differs from chip to chip. It's the same reason why you need to install drivers on your computer OS. Almost all of these drivers are closed source binary ones, which means they are already compiled for the architecture they're supposed to run on. You didn't specify the chip you're using, but unless you're planning to use a linux-based OS on another (e.g. ARM) platform that features host functionality, this won't be possible.

    Maybe you should take a look at the CC3000.
