Getting the name of the wifi-card for WZCQueryInterface and WZCSetInterface

Hi,

How can I find the name of the active wifi-card on ppc2003?
I need it to set the network-mode from ad hoc to accesspoint.
WZCSetInterface needs an INTF_ENTRY.wszGuid which is the devicename?

I think I've got al the parts
With
WLanInfo.IntfEntry.dwCtlFlags & INTFCTL_CM_MASK
you get the current value

with
if(iSelection == 2)
{
// Computer-to-computer
s_mode = Ndis802_11IBSS;
}
else if(iSelection == 1)
{
// infrastructure (access point) network
s_mode = Ndis802_11Infrastructure;
}
else if(iSelection == 0)\
{
// Any network (access point preferred)
s_mode = Ndis802_11AutoUnknown;
}

s_pWLanInfo->dwCtlFlags &= ~INTFCTL_CM_MASK;
s_pWLanInfo->dwCtlFlags |= (((DWORD) s_mode) & INTFCTL_CM_MASK);

you reset and replace the value

with
WZCQueryInterface( LPWSTR pSrvAddr,
DWORD dwInFlags,
PINTF_ENTRY pIntf,
LPDWORD pdwOutFlags
)
you get the current settings

with
you write the settings
WZCSetInterface(NULL, s_pWLanInfo->dwCtlFlags,&pWLanInfo->IntfEntry,&dwOutFlags)


But I still need a pSrvAddr and an IntfEntry.wszGuid
How can I get them?

I'm using evc4

I saw from another thread that you've downloaded the eval version of
Platform Builder; take a look (in PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\NETSAMP) at
the "wzctool" sample project. It's the best documentation of the WZC
service I've found.

Well, you can get a list of adapter names via GetAdaptersInfo(). You can
then check each adapter's properties to see if it's an RF Ethernet adapter.
There's no such thing as *the* active RF adapter. There might be ten active
RF Ethernet adapters...

Yes, "wzctool" is good.
but the info is quite limited...

Do you know how to get the list of avaliable ap ssid?

thanks.

The WZC API will do that. I've previously posted some code here that will
do that sort of thing. The OpenNETCF code (in C#), does it, also, and it
shouldn't be too hard to port back to C++; that's where I started it from.
