wireless media adapter APIs

[Larry]

I'm trying to find information on how to write (perferable dot net based)
application services to work with 802.11B wireless devices (such as Linksys
WMA11B media Adapter).

My first goal is to create a network service that will act as a "radio"
broadcast station for the "internet radio" feature of the device. Or for
that matter info on setting up (programming) a intranet web based radio.

Hi Larry,

I would like to confirm my understanding of this issue. Are you trying to
write an app to monitor the network using a 801.11b wireless adapter or you
need to monitor on the device for some information, such as power of radio?

If you need to monitor on the network, you can do it just as using the
wired adapters.

If the latter is true, we have to achieve this by sending OID to driver.
Miniport driver have to support it , so it's not function of OS but driver.

You can check the following link for more information:

Thanks for responding, sorry it's taken me a bit to get back on this
project. Bear with me as I'm new to trying to work with this wireless stuff.

What I have is a UPnP deveice on my network (happens to be wireless). The
device is a "IP" media player (basically a radio) that is suppose to be able
to recieve audio files from a local host running windows. The application
shipped with the device runs as an application. What I'm ultimately after is
to write a windows service or a web service to replace Linksys's 3rd party
application.

Perhaps the OID material will get me started. I'll know better after I've
expermited with the tools you referenced.
