1. A method for operating a multi-protocol communication network comprising:
establishing a wireless-connection between a first device including a first transceiver and a first interface-controller coupled to a first wired-connection, and a second device including a second-transceiver and a second interface-controller coupled to a second wired-connection using a packet-switched-wireless-protocol;
receiving data from the first wired-connection including first-packets and non-packet based data to be transmitted through the wireless-connection;
converting the first-packets to second-packets compatible with the packet-switched-wireless-protocol by proactively starting a preamble transmission and inserting a number of synchronization bits in a preamble field of the first-packets to align a packet duration of the second-packets with a packet duration of packets of the packet-switched-wireless-protocol, wherein the number of synchronization bits include bits of the non-packet based data; and
transmitting the second-packets from the first device to the second device.
