Hi All,

I'm working on a sample Windows XP/2000 NDIS device driver for 802.11b NIC
as part of my thesis. Now, I've got a problem:
I could retrieve the current received signal strength (strongest) just fine,
but what if I want to retrieve the values of received signal strength from
all APs in my WLAN?

Thanks for the help!

Ok then you have a little problem :)
Use whatever interface your APs provide (snmp, http ... )

You need to have the chip SCAN to find the beacons from all APs on channels
other than the one the 802.11 device is associated on.
 
you might better do a thesis on xfer rates. Signal strength means diddly. I
can stand out side in driveway with laptop and get full strength signal, or
am I. Your microwave, cordless phone, cell phone and other neat toys you
have = NOISE = low xfer.
 
I have the same problem.

How can i find the other beacons
